This is used by disk tools such as disklabel(8) to dynamically decide is
the undelyling platform uses a disklabel-in-mbr-partition or not
(instead of using a compile-time list of ports).
getlabelusesmbr() reads the sysctl kern.labelusesmbr, takes its value from the
machdep #define LABELUSESMBR.
For evbmips, make LABELUSESMBR 1 if the platform uses pmon
as bootloader, and 0 (the previous value) otherwise.
sys/stdarg.h and expect compiler to provide proper builtins, defaulting
to the GCC interface. lint still has a special fallback.
Reduce abuse of _BSD_VA_LIST_ by defining __va_list by default and
derive va_list as required by standards.
Can be used by applications that have their own SIGINT (et al)
handlers and want to exit in a manner that correctly
signals to the parent that the process was terminated by a signal.

and install ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}-disklabel,
${TOOLDIR}/bin/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}-fdisk by "reaching over" to
the sources in ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/sbin/{disklabel fdisk}/.
To avoid clashes with a build-host's header files, especially on
*BSD, the host-tools versions of fdisk and disklabel search for
#includes such as disklabel.h, disklabel_acorn.h, disklabel_gpt.h,
and bootinfo.h in a new #includes namespace, nbinclude/. That is,
they #include <nbinclude/sys/disklabel.h>, <nbinclude/machine/disklabel.h>,
<nbinclude/sparc64/disklabel.h>, instead of <sys/disklabel.h> and
such. I have also updated the system headers to #include from
nbinclude/-space when HAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H is #defined.
and add "errbuf" and "errbufsz" parameters so that errors can be handled
gracefully, rather than simply exiting the process.
- Add a pw_copy() wrapper around pw_copyx() to preserve old behavior for
apps that use it.
- Bump shlib version to 7.4.
- The pw_setprefix() function defines the root directory used for passwd
file updates. If the prefix is set to /newroot pw_lock() will operate on
/newroot/etc/ptmp afterwards. The default prefix is an empty string.
- The pw_getprefix() function returns the root directory which is currently
used for passwd file updates.
- const poison login().
- XXX: we should not include all these files here. We only need stdio.h and
sys/types.h! But I am not rm'ing them now because too many things will break.
