of binutils. For all architectures and object file formats,
".p2align n" aligns to the next multiple of 2**n. Thus for FreeBSD,
it does exactly the same thing as the traditional ".align".
The old ".align" directive has different meanings in different
object formats, and even in different variants of a.out. Sometimes
is aligns to a multiple of n, and other times it aligns to a multiple
of 2**n. ".p2align" is preferable for use in assembly language
sources, since it makes them more portable to object formats other
than a.out.
Strong 2.2 and 2.1.x candidate. Someone should review the patch before,
however.

Don't use the private version of strerror() either.
Use INTERNALLIB and INTERNALSTATICLIB instead of a private install
rules NOPROFILE and NOPIC. This is only slightly cleaner.
INTERNALLIB was previously only used in compatibility libraries
(libgnumalloc etc.) and INTERNALSTATICLIB was previously unused.
INTERNAL*LIB probably should be replaced by something like NOSTATICO
together with NO{STATICO,PROFILE,PIC}INSTALL.

library with a shared object dependency that contained alias symbols,
the linker incorrectly counted the number of symbols that would be
written, resulting in a fatal internal error. Since our libc now
contains some alias symbols (in "net/res_stubs.c"), this was
sufficient to tickle the bug: "ld -Bshareable foo.so -lc". To
fix it, I moved the accounting of alias symbols to a later point
in the processing, where it is possible to count only those symbols
that will actually be written to the output file.
This fix is well-confined to affect alias symbols only. I have
tested it with a full "make world". I am going to merge it into
-2.2 after a few more days of living with it in -current.
If it is set to a nonempty string, then simply skip any missing
shared libraries. This came up in a discussion long ago as a
potentially useful feature at sysinstall time. For example, an
X11 utility could be used without the X libraries being present,
provided the utility had a mode in which no X functions were actually
called.

The dlopen() function now supports both lazy and immediate binding, as
determined by its "mode" argument, which can be either 1 (RTLD_LAZY) or
2 (RTLD_NOW). I will add defines of these symbols to <dlfcn.h> as soon
as I've done a little more checking to make sure they won't cause
collisions or bootstrapping problems that would break "make world".
The "LD_*" environment variables which alter dynamic linker behavior are
now treated as unset if they are set to the empty string. This agrees
with the standard SVR4 conventions for the dynamic linker.
Add a work-around for programs compiled with certain buggy versions of
crt0.o. The buggy versions failed to set the "crt_ldso" member of the
interface structure. This caused certain error messages from the
dynamic linker to begin with "(null)" instead of the pathname of the
dynamic linker.

We've already got it in libc, but both libraries are incompatible
wrt. their header files and internal data structures. This
incompatibility caused the expr(1) on the fixit floppy to mysteriously
dump core for the colon operator.

an archive, the name of the link is truncated to 99 characters, and when
extracting such an archive, an error is reported because it is trying to
create a hard link to a file which doesn't exist. This patch fixes that
problem and has also been sent to the GNU maintainers.

that is stored in the hints file. If that search path contained
a non-existent directory (one, say, that had been removed), and
"ldconfig -m /a/perfectly/good/directory" was run, ldconfig returned
an error status without printing an error message. This caused
some confusing bombs when installing ports, in particular.
I changed it so that non-existent directories from the stored search
path are silently ignored. Only non-existent directories named
explicitly on the command line are treated as errors. Also, a
diagnostic is printed if and only if an error status is returned.
In an unrelated fix, ldconfig now silently ignores any directories
named on the command line when the "-r" option is given. Formerly,
these directories incorrectly made their way into the "search
directories" line of the listing. It really should be an error to
specify directories together with "-r", but I don't have time to
fix the manual page in that way right now.

Remove various bogus pathnames to look up rsh(1) at. Our rsh is in
/usr/bin, but never in /usr/usb, nor would it ever be called remsh...
Also, if it hasn't been found there, use execlp() to look it up. the
latter is required for `weird' environments like a fixit floppy where
the regular /usr/bin hiearrchy is not avaiable. tar should probably
do it similar to dump/restore, and use rcmd(3) instead of forking an
external process.

2) make the `proc' command (kernel debugging) really work

Unfortunately, the `proc' command won't work while doing remote debugging.
