Hi,
I strongly suggest to kfreebsd-amd64 users to not upgrade
any important packages, especially not sysvinit to version 2.86.ds1-15.
All packages built by binutils_2.17-1 or binutils_2.17-2 are affected.
They simply will not run:
"ELF binary type "0" not known."
"cannot execute binary file"
Binutils for kfreebsd-amd64 needs patch

Binaries compiled in a wrong way have output of "file"
"init: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), ...",
the right result is
"init: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), ... "
Hope it helps
Petr
