From Rafal's commit for mipseb (which applies here too):
WARNING: Binutils 2.11.2 (maybe earlier) changed the MIPS ABI, so any
shared libs built by this toolchain WILL NOT WORK without either a whack
to BFD to fix that or a patch to ld_elf.so to work around it. I need to
chase the binutils folks on this issue still.
libraries that have their dependencies recorded via NEEDED/RPATH so
that the location of the dependent libraries doesn't have to be supplied.
This closes bin/14583 by myself.

The Postfix SMTP server maintains a record of SMTP conversations
for debugging purposes. Depending on local configuration details
this record is mailed to the postmaster whenever an SMTP session
terminates with errors.
During code maintenance, a stupid error was introduced into the
code due to which the SMTP session log could grow to an unreasonable
size. This stupid error made Postfix vulnerable to a memory
exhaustion attack.
* Rewrite src/tools Make logic to work like the rest of the tree wrt
"dependall" and "install". The old "make build" hack is gone.
* Remove the MKTOOLS logic. This was linked to the "make build" hack,
and was only needed because TOOLDIR originally had no writable default.
* Redo the GNU configure/make logic to make it fit reasonably in a
BSD make wrapper. Use new ${.ALLTARGETS} variable to scan for
targets in $(srcdir), and mark them with .MADE: to prevent rebuilding.
* Only build cross tools in src/tools; remove some messy logic in
src/usr.* and src/gnu/usr.* that would do target filename rewriting
(improves consistency and readability).
* Add the ability to build cross gdb at tool build time by setting
MKCROSSGDB (default no) to "yes" in mk.conf.
* Add src/tools/groff and set up paths to work with this cross groff.
left unimplemented, and postfix daemon could become an open relay for
IPv6 connectivity. it seems that we need to torture-test IPv6 patch outside
of the tree more.

TODO:
* Use loadfile(), rather than home-grown ELF parsing code (requires
some changes to loadfile()).
* Support a.out like the gwr's dbsym(8) (this comes for free when
we switch to loadfile()).
changes to configuration stuff to (a) recognize `mipseb', and (b) build a
BE-default GCC on mipseb. gprof and gdb still not done.

That said, the new toolchain seems to work quite well once the ABI change
is worked around/fixed -- I'm committing from a machine running a user-
land built with the new compiler.
