>Description:

	I'd like to see /usr/bin/error re-incorporated into the FreeBSD
	distribution.  It is a useful utility and works with the current
	toolchain.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Look in /usr/src/usr.bin for error and you won't find anything. :)

>Fix:

	Reincorporate the /usr/bin/error source in the FreeBSD source tree.

 Forgive me my ignorance, but what does the utility do. Also, you suggest
 that it has been in the tree and has been removed. Did you checkout
 why? Replacements that have been added?

 Well best chance is to see whether it works/ make it work and then send
 of a PR or submit it to -hackers or -current.
 
 Waiting for someone else to do it is probably not going to work.
