+From the 9front mailing list:
+.P1
+If you didn't 'mk nuke' your libc you can build the assembler and linker first:
+
+for(i in (6a 6l))@{ cd /sys/src/cmd/^$i && mk install }+
+Then you may rebuild the rest of the system.
+
+If you did 'mk nuke':
+* if you use cwfs, copy older libc from dump and then do the above
+ 9fs dump cp /n/dump/2024/...
+* if you use hjfs, copy updated binaries from the iso box.
+ 9fs iso && cp /n/iso/amd64/bin/^(6a 6c 6l) /amd64/bin/
+
+It would be nice to have a way of these updates notifying people
+of such manual steps. But for the time being I would suggest perusing
+the mailing lists when doing large updates.
+
+Thanks,
+moody
