we're ELF now, and there are many missing checks against OBJECT_FMT.
if we ever consider switching, the we can figure out what new ones
we need but for now it's just clutter.
this doesn't remove any of the support for exec_aout or any actually
required-for-boot a.out support, only the ability to build a netbsd
release in a.out format. ie, most of this code has been dead for
over a decade.
i've tested builds on vax, amd64, i386, mac68k, macppc, sparc, atari,
amiga, shark, cats, dreamcast, landisk, mmeye and x68k. this covers
the 5 MACHINE_ARCH's affected, and all the other arch code touched.
it also includes some actual run-time testing of sparc, i386 and
shark, and i performed binary comparison upon amiga and x68k as well.
some minor details relevant:
- move shlib.[ch] from ld.aout_so into ldconfig proper, and cut them
down to only the parts ldconfig needs
- remove various unused source files
- switch amiga bootblocks to using elf2bb.h instead of aout2bb.h
building X11 without inet6 support. the support to maintain patches to
generated files and other files is too great. PR#42856
- add TOOL_PIGZ, which defaults to the (not yet default) built tools/pigz.
- kill MKPIGZ.
- add MKPIGZGZIP. if it is "no", then only install pigz as pigz. if it is
not "no", don't install mrgzip, install pigz as gzip.
in all cases, the z* scripts.
i don't like the name MKPIGZGZIP so if anyone has a better name, feel free
to replace it. i don't care enough since killing the ugly name is just
more incentive to get pigz doing .bz2, .Z and .z.
make test may yield misleading results but should work in many cases. This
target is supposed to simplify the execution of tests but does not preclude
developers from running the installed versions.
Addresses PR misc/38326.
the diff -u is more obvious than a description:
-X11FLAGS.VERSION= -DOSMAJORVERSION=1 -DOSMINORVERSION=6 # XXX
+X11FLAGS.VERSION= -DOSMAJORVERSION=5 -DOSMINORVERSION=99 # XXX
man pages to use mandoc unconditional as it gives reasonable output for
all man pages, not only a subset of mdoc(7). Use the newly installed
style.css for formatting and produce hyperlinks for .Xr.
While this is not strictly sensible, it keeps UPDATE=1 builds
rolling if I change some aspect of config (such as adding the
cfdriver/cfattach lists now). This is going away eventually.
rump into share/mk. This is to make it useful for all kernel
builders.
Note: we have waaay too many weird and wonderful ways of making
kernel code (monolithic kernel, modules, rump). There should be
only one way to build kernel code instead of a maze of twisty little
.mk files, all not quite alike. When that is fixed, this snippet can go
into the more generic .mk file.
conflicts with shared libaries names libXX.so; as recently seen with
MKUPDATE=yes builds for libelf and libnvpair.
All now stalled regular .so files need to be manually removed from
object directories.
relocations by the module loader in the kernel. This makes modules work
in, at least, shark and macppc respectively.
This is obviously a workaround that results in slower code, but at least
makes modules work. I'm adding a comment detailing what the real solution
would be so that the whole thing can be revisited in the future. (Read:
I don't have time now to dig the details of how to implement trampoline
generation.)
(Based on the old bsd.kmod.mk file, I understand that hppa needs this
workaround too, but I can't check this platform.)
