imported, i.e. the binutils-2.16.1 release and not the branch that
I worked with originally.
Lot of the changes are due to the update of the mknative script RCSId.
is moving here, keeping everything together.
tested with: vax (old config), mac68k (old config), i386 (new config)
and shark (new config). tested i386 binaries only so far, but the
system seems to be surviving the self-hosted test.
XXX: note that this isn't *all* the bits required to run a binutils
2.14 world for arm or i386; these will come soon enough...
* Don't bother prefixing commands with a line of ${_MKCMD}\
and instead rely upon "make -s". This is less intrusive on
all the Makefiles than the former. Idea from David Laight.
* Rename the variables use to print messages. The scheme now is:
_MKMSG_FOO Run _MKMSG 'foo'
_MKTARGET_FOO Run _MKMSG_FOO ${.TARGET}
From discussion with Alistair Crooks.
seems to mostly work.. libcurses.so fails to link with an out of memory
error i haven't looked at yet, and nothing has actually been run..
XXX: gdb53 missing.
* 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.
