<para>[2017-07-21] Due to a bug in earlier versions of
&man.clang.1; that is difficult to work around in the
upgrade process, to upgrade the system from sources via
buildworld to -CURRENT or &release;, it is necessary to
upgrade machines running 9.x to at least revision r286035,
or machines running 10.x to revision r286033. Source-based
upgrades from 10.3-RELEASE are not affected. This differs
from the historical situation where one could generally
upgrade from anywhere on earlier stable branches, so caution
should be exercised.</para>
