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.
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.

- SHLIBDIR Location to install shared libraries if ${USE_SHLIBDIR}
is "yes". Defaults to "/usr/lib".
- USE_SHLIBDIR If "yes", install shared libraries in ${SHLIBDIR}
instead of ${LIBDIR}. Defaults to "no".
Sets ${_LIBSODIR} to the appropriate value.
This may be set by individual Makefiles as well.
- SHLINKDIR Location of shared linker. Defaults to "/usr/libexec".
If != "/usr/libexec", change the dynamic-linker
encoded in shared programs
* Set USE_SHLIBDIR for libraries used by /bin and /sbin:
libc libcrypt libcrypto libedit libipsec libkvm libm libmi387
libtermcap libutil libz
* If ${_LIBSODIR} != ${LIBDIR}, add symlinks from ${LIBDIR}/${LIB}.so*
to ${_LIBSODIR}/${LIB}.so* for compatibility.
* Always install /sbin/init statically (for now)
The net effect of these changes depends on how the variables are set:
1.) If nothing is set or changed, there is no change from the
current behaviour:
- Static /bin, /sbin, and bits of /usr/*
- Dynamic rest
- Shared linker is /usr/libexec/ld*so
2.) If the following make variables are set:
LDSTATIC=
SHLINKDIR=/lib
SHLIBDIR=/lib
Then the behaviour becomes:
- Dynamic tools
- .so libraries used by /bin and /sbin are installed to /lib,
with symlinks from /usr/lib/lib*so to -> /lib/lib*so
where appropriate
- Shared linker is /lib/ld*so
3.) As per 2.), but add the following variable:
USE_SHLIBDIR=yes
This forces all .so's to be instaleld in /lib (with compat
symlinks), not just those tagged by their Makefiles to be.
Again, compat symlinks are installed
