0.8.8.25:

	Don't allow the system to be built as root
	... id(1) check early in the build.
	Fix the SB-POSIX test suite
	... rewrite mkdir.error.3 not to assume that / is unwriteable;
	... continue to assume that the user is not (fake)root, but
		nonetheless try to clean up a bit more if we are.

     should matter to you only if you rebind the printer control

+  * minor incompatible change: the system no longer allows itself to
+    be built as root.  This is primarily to allow the SB-POSIX contrib
+    module's test suite to assume that it is being run as an ordinary
+    user, with the attendant filesystem permissions semantics that
+    entails.
   * The runtime build system has been tweaked to support building
     (on SPARC/SunOS) using a C compiler which invokes Sun's own
     assembler and linker.  (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
