aout support in ldconfig hasn't been required since FreeBSD 2.x.
Anyone still using FreeBSD 2 shared libraries can also use a FreeBSD 2
ldconfig to generate aout ldconfig hints.

The previous language did not make it clear that 'Files' are
the files specified above. Clarify it.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

- Convert the (char *) cast+cast backs magic to
memcpy(3). Without this, the resulting code
is potentially risky with higher optimization
levels.
- Avoid same name when calling local variables,
as well as global symbols. This reduces
confusion for both human and compiler.
- Add necessary casts, consts
- Use new style function defination.
- Minor style.Makefile(5) tweak
- Bump WARNS?= from 0 to 6
** for the aout code: changes are intentionally limited

under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.

noting that the restrictions do not apply if the user invoking the
program is also the owner of the program.
Also, capitalize a section header properly.

It does not help modern compilers, and some may take some hit from it.
(I also found several functions that listed *every* of its 10 local vars with
"register" -- just how many free registers do people think machines have?)
longer includes machine/elf.h.
* consumers of elf.h now use the minimalist elf header possible.
This change is motivated by Binutils 2.11.0 and too much clashing over
our base elf headers and the Binutils elf headers.
