two variables:
TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which there is
no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5, x86_64).
EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the root of
an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This enables the cross-build
framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING platforms.
If TOOLCHAIN_MISSING is set to "yes", MKGDB, MKBFD, and MKGCC are all
unconditionally set to "no", since the bits are not there to build.
If EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN is set, MKGCC is unconditionally set to "no",
since the external toolchain's compiler is not in-sync with the
in-tree compiler support components (e.g. libgcc).
* Set MACHINE_CPU much earlier in bsd.own.mk, so that more tests in
that file can use it.
to build full-feature libbfd, do the following:
- add "--enable-targets=all --enable-64-bit-bfd" to
src/tools/toolchain/Makefile configure arg
- invoke nbmake-<platform> native, to regenerate files under src/gnu
* Regen files with proper OS names and version numbers.
* Clean up toolchain2netbsd somewhat, to get it ready to be cross-host
compatible (more work to be done here, but it's getting closer).
* Add framework for gdbreplay and gdbserver, but hold off on enabling these
by default until low-nbsd.c is verified to work everywhere.
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.
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.
