section and allow this type to be overridden.
The ELF specification says it should always be uint32_t (Elf_Word), but
alpha decided to be different (not sure why). Define Elf_Symindx to be
uint64_t on alpha.
Alpha no longer uses non-standard definitions of Elf64_Sword and
Elf64_Word. Remove the ability to override these types.
Fixes ld.elf_so after Herculean effort from me and martin.
the main loop. This is useful for very quickly executed lfs runs
such as those in tests, as an initialization phase cleaner may
prevent file system unmount.
we're ELF now, and there are many missing checks against OBJECT_FMT.
if we ever consider switching, the we can figure out what new ones
we need but for now it's just clutter.
this doesn't remove any of the support for exec_aout or any actually
required-for-boot a.out support, only the ability to build a netbsd
release in a.out format. ie, most of this code has been dead for
over a decade.
i've tested builds on vax, amd64, i386, mac68k, macppc, sparc, atari,
amiga, shark, cats, dreamcast, landisk, mmeye and x68k. this covers
the 5 MACHINE_ARCH's affected, and all the other arch code touched.
it also includes some actual run-time testing of sparc, i386 and
shark, and i performed binary comparison upon amiga and x68k as well.
some minor details relevant:
- move shlib.[ch] from ld.aout_so into ldconfig proper, and cut them
down to only the parts ldconfig needs
- remove various unused source files
- switch amiga bootblocks to using elf2bb.h instead of aout2bb.h
o major rework and clean up of internal interfaces. move the main
program into main.c, the remaining parts are useable as library.

special thanks to al for the majority of these changes.
(allow file 'c'reation - 'w'riting was always available, with some twist;
plus there's already such a feature elsewhere, so let's try to not
diverge needlessly)
