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
processing of /etc/ld.so.conf in ld.so itself (rather than in /etc/rc):
- added do_conf function and call to it in main to implement internal
processing of /etc/ld.so.conf
- moved maintenance of dir_list to dodir, with an added argument to
dodir to specify whether dir_list should be updated
- added option '-c' to suppress processing of /etc/ld.so.conf
- added option '-S' to suppress processing of std directories (but not
/etc/ld.so.conf)
- modified option -s to suppress processing of _both_ std directories
and /etc/ld.so.conf (i.e., it is equivalent to -cS)--this was done
so that users and scripts that interpret -s as meaning "process
only directories specified on the command line" would not be
startled
From PR #4031. One change was not committed, since it was unnecessary
(option variables are in the BSS, and do not need to be initialized to
0 explicitly).
Plus one change from me:
- getopt() returns -1 when completed, not EOF.
