were dealing with DBG (-d) LDSTATIC/NOPIE (-p), and the rest with
disabling/enabling sanitizers.
2. Use emalloc/estrdup for all the allocators instead of only some cases.
3. Add -V varspec which passes variables on the command line (as DBG
and LDSTATIC used to be passed before) instead of appending them
to the on-the-fly Makefile using -v varspec.
4. Change the distrib and rescue Makefiles to use -V instead of the removed
flags.
The motivation of this is to make variable handling consistent, less magical,
and remove the need for changing crunchgen each time we want to add disabling
an option by default.

NetBSD/emips port runs on Xilinx and Beecube FPGA systems and the
Giano system simulator.
eMIPS is a platform developed at Microsoft Research for researching
reconfigurable computing. eMIPS allows dynamic loading and scheduling
of application-specific circuits for the purpose of accelerating
computations based on the current workload.
NetBSD eMIPS support for NetBSD 4.x was written at Microsoft Research
by Alessandro Forin and Neil Pittman. Microsoft Corporation has
donated full copyright to The NetBSD Foundation.
Platform support for eMIPS is the first part of Microsoft's
contribution. The second part includes the hardware accelerator
framework and will be proposed on tech-kern soon.
