 My change should be fully compatible with the current one after replacing
 : ${FOO:=A} with FOO=A.  What change is needed for your tools?  I
 tested possible combinations of the script and the existing config
 files currently available and there were no difference in the results.

 I listed the reasons of my changes in the commit log, so please read
 them for the benefits.  One of the primary purposes is to plug
 possible build failures especially when building head/ on a 9.X (or
 prior) build box.  I have some more patches to make the bootstrap
 more robust, but I did not include them because it has a side-effect
 to break compatibility with the current one.
