rules use that directory to lookup users & groups as opposed to the
host system's passwd(5) and group(5) databases.
This is a change of behaviour which should make the build system more
robust when new users & groups are added to the NetBSD source.
The only users who may be adversely affected are those (small number,
if any) that renumber the uids & gids away from the "standard" NetBSD
ones; in this case said users should maintain local mods to
${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc/{master.passwd,group} ...
things like the .note.netbsd.ident section are provided by crti/crtn.
crti/crtn also provide the _init() and _fini() routines.
crtbegin/crtend now only provide support for ctors/dtors. This paves
the way to using the "crtstuff" provided with GCC (when we upgrade to
GCC 3.3), which provides, among other things, much better C++/Java
exception handling.
and the sources now use that define, so there is no need for us to define
ABICALLS. Since that was the only use for the AINC variable, garbage-collect
it.
-dynamic-linker=/libexec/ld.elf_so) if the BINDIR of the program being
built is /bin or /sbin.
The reason we do this is because now all programs *except* those in
/bin and /sbin (i.e. the "special cases") match the default the compiler
uses, which is what is used for things in e.g. xsrc, pkgsrc, and other
random 3rd party programs.
This is done by decoupling where a shlib is installed from how it
is located. Two new variables, SHLIBINSTALLDIR and SHLINKINSTALLDIR,
contain the former information, and key off MKDYNAMICROOT only. SHLIBDIR
and SHLINKDIR contain the latter, and key off MKDYNAMICROOT and BINDIR.
The SHLIBINSTALLDIR, SHLIBDIR, _LIBSODIR, SHLINKINSTALLDIR, and
SHLINKDIR parameters are moved to a new <bsd.shlib.mk>; see bsd.README
for usage details.

This means that:
+ /bin and /sbin (and the few programs in /usr/* which were statically
linked) are now dynamically linked.
+ The shared libraries that are needed by the /bin and /sbin programs
are now installed into /lib (with compatability symlinks from
/usr/lib). These are:
c crypt edit ipsec kvm m m387 termcap termlib util z
+ The shared linker is now in /libexec/ld.elf_so, and
/usr/libexec/ld.elf_so is a symlink to the former.
If you want the prior behaviour of "some applications statically linked,
the rest dynamically linked", set MKDYNAMICROOT=no in your mk.conf(5).
If you have a philosophical objection to dynamic libraries, continue
to set LDSTATIC=-static in your mk.conf(5), and please don't waste any
more time in trying to convince us why dynamic libraries are 3v1l.
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.
be changed in the future to "yes".
If MKDYNAMICROOT == "no", there is no change from existing behaviour
of a static /bin and /sbin (and a few programs in elsewhere).
If MKDYNAMICROOT == "yes", the following changes occur:
in <bsd.own.mk>:
SHLIBDIR?= /lib
SHLINKDIR?= /lib
in various Makefiles, the following entry is DISABLED.
LDSTATIC?=-static
This results in all programs (except those "standalone" programs built
in sys/arch/*/stand) are linked dynamically, the shared linker is moved
from /usr/libexec to /lib (with a compat symlink), and the shared
libraries used by /bin and /sbin programs are moved from /usr/lib to
/lib (with compat symlinks).
as they default to using install(1) -r.
the rm can cause problems in certain situations, such as moving a library or
shared linker that install(1) depends upon to another location and replacing
it with a (sym)link.
* Don't make OBJECT_FMT dependent on USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN. All ports
except ns32k are ELF, so set it appropriately. Allow it to be
overridden in the ns32k case.
* If ns32k && USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN, don't build shared libraries, because
external toolchains don't support them for our a.out.
* If ns32k && OBJECT_FMT == ELF, the GNU platform is "netbsdelf".
* If ns32k && USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN, don't attempt to build the in-tree
binutils 2.11.2, gdb 5.0, or gcc 2.95.3.
This allows us to do USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN cross-builds to ns32k using
an external toolchain.
