when building the kernel sets and placing gzip'd kernels in binary/kernels.
For example, if KERNEL_SUFFIXES were set to "ecoff srec", then the kernel
set would include:
netbsd
netbsd.ecoff (only if it exists in the kernel compile directory)
netbsd.srec (only if it exists in the kernel compile directory)
This is useful for packaging kernel sets for platforms which have
extra special requirements for loading the kernel.
more consistent. To quote the comment in etc/Makefile
that describes how it's done:
# This target builds the kernels specified by each port. A port may
# specify the following kernels:
#
# KERNEL_SETS The list of kernels that will be
# packaged into sets, named
# kern-${kernel}.tgz. These kernels
# are also placed in the binary/kernels
# area of the release package as
# netbsd-${kernel}.gz.
#
# EXTRA_KERNELS Additional kernels to place in the
# binary/kernels area of the release
# package as netbsd-${kernel}.gz, but
# which are not placed into sets. This
# allows a port to provide e.g. a netbootable
# installation kernel containing a ramdisk.
#
# BUILD_KERNELS Additional kernels to build which are
# not placed into sets nor into the
# binary/kernels area of the release
# package. These are typically kernels
# that are built for inclusion only in
# installation disk/CD-ROM/tape images.
#
the latter being called by the "distribution" target. This allows the
various /etc/... files to be installed manually in a convenient way, if
desired.
NOTE: It is INTENTIONAL that this target is not named "install".
or distribution.
Also, clean up the check and include <sys/endian.h> instead -- some platforms'
<machine/endian_machdep.h> pull in the definitions of _BIG_ENDIAN and
_LITTLE_ENDIAN, invalidating the test; this makes the check values uniformly
"4321" and "1234" respectively.
