Description

Cloned from #4052:

Current rtems-libbsd "5" branch fails to compile the e1000 driver for i386 based BSPs.

The corresponding patches from the 5-freebsd-12 branch need to be ported to master.

The RTEMS 5 release is based on the 5-freebsd-12 branch for LibBSD and not the 5 branch. Maybe the issue is the 5 branch for LibBSD should have been made from 5-freebsd-12 and not master.

I have adjusted the release scripts to package the 5-freebsd-12 branch for LibBSD as a special case however it has concerned me something is not right and this ticket is now making me wonder if the 5 branch referencing master has confused things.

I got that the 5-freebsd-12 branch will be the libbsd version for RTEMS 5.1. That's why I put the patches there first to make it in time.

My impression was that the 5 branch was created from master with the goal that in a future 5.x release libbsd might be created from this one, once the next FreeBSD version has been officially released.

I wanted to make sure that if that happens, it has the same features as the 5-freebsd-12 branch. The discussion on the mailinglist was a bit confusing, so maybe I got it wrong.

I also have the same impression. We need a release and then we need to look after the branch for a while to understand how this will work. Having the patches on all branches makes it easier and simpler.
