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
build features (such as ross's DEBUGLIST) can easily be applied to all
ports. This should reduce the complexity of each port's kernel
Makefile considerably. Line counts:
227 arch/i386/conf/Makefile.i386.orig
98 arch/i386/conf/Makefile.i386
227 arch/alpha/conf/Makefile.alpha.orig
99 arch/alpha/conf/Makefile.alpha
219 arch/sparc/conf/Makefile.sparc.orig
102 arch/sparc/conf/Makefile.sparc
215 arch/vax/conf/Makefile.vax.orig
102 arch/vax/conf/Makefile.vax
253 conf/Makefile.kern.inc
Roll i386, alpha, sparc, and vax over to the new build machinery.
the etc Makefile override that by putting USETOOLS into $.MAKEOVERRIDES
This way the default for kernel compiles is still to use the installed
toolchain instead of depending on $TOOLDIR. $TOOLDIR can be used by
simply adding USETOOLS=yes to the command line as usual.
Adjust each ports template to set the default no setting and also pull in
bsd.own.mk if they weren't already to ensure they'll build correctly
with the new toolchain setup.
- fix emitrules() like emitfiles() to deal with the prefix (otherwise it
would attempt to find the file in the normal base for the NORMAL_C rule).
- add emitincludes() which adds include directives for each prefix to the
$INCLUDES variable in the makefile.
- add %INCLUDES to each Makefile.arch to deal with the above.
this makes "prefix" actually work in a usable manner, and now i can move
on to fixing compiler warnings (errors) in the ESP code. :)
No flags will not work, because it will produce a kernel loaded at 0xf0000000.
This is because the bfd ELF pagesize (in elf32-sparc.c) is 0x10000. Since
we need to load at 0xf0004000, we use -n.
-sys/lib/libkern builds as library per default (as it was documented all
the time)
-ports able to LKM set "KERN_AS=obj" explicitely in their Makefiles
(for now; should depend on actual "option LKM" or -better- functions
included for LKM use should be pulled in by a stub)
-always link libcompat before libkern - libkern stuff can be referred to
by libcompat, but not the other way
a HAVE_GCC28 check-variable that can now be used to add other gcc-2.8
flags in cases where they may be useful, or to remove gcc 2.7.2 "bug
workaround" flags.)
