This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

object or library? :-) This filter decodes the mangled symbol names.)

a (now) defunct routine that no longer exists (causing an empty .o file),
and were missing some others. Some of the ones we were missing are no-ops
on the i386, so there are now 4 empty .o files.
(It seems that libc/quad has got some defunct functions now)
(the old cc has been tagged with "gcc_2_6_3_final" so we have a reference
point in case of unforseen disasters...)
This has the objc backend active, and I think I've managed to get the
f77 f2c support through in one piece, but I don't know fortran to test it.
A 'make world' change and libobjc commit will follow.
If you normally do 'make -DNOCLEAN world', do not do so this time, I know
it can fail with groff.
This version of gcc makes a **LOT** more warnings on our kernel.
-mprofiler-epilogue to support it and documented the option.
cc.1:
Listed all the machine-dependent options, even the temporary
debugging ones.
invoke.texi:
Fixed the sense of -mno-ieee-fp.
Sorted the machine-dependent options.
LINK_SPEC. This solves a problem with the f77 frontend where
aproviding the -r8 option (use REAL*8) caused `cc' to ``forget'' to
pass the entry point to the linker.

default switches, template functions get EXTERNAL linkage in each file
in which they occur, causing multiple definition errors during
linking. The enclosed patch (from gnu.g++.bug) appears to solve the
problem (I enclose the accompanying message as well).
This patch fixes the multiply defined template functions bug
which was introduced in 2.6.1.

- Don't define NO_IMPLICIT_EXTERN_C here. It is already the default
(defined in i386/bsd.h).
- Don't lose the fixed comment about FUNCTION_PROFILER.
- Don't lose the define of NO_PROFILE_DATA.
Replace the unused define of COMMENT_BEGIN by the less-unused define
of ASM_COMMENT_START. COMMENT_BEGIN was only defined in i386-specific
files and was not used in any part of gcc-2.6.3. ASM_COMMENT_START
is defined for several targets and is used for stuff that we don't
support (dwarf).
basic-block profiling:
1. use a .stabs(25) symbol to link all the data structures together with.
The regular method isn't safe for the kernel.
2. add a BB before the prologue and add a BB after the epilogue, this
alows us to find the length of any counted BB. This is a cheap and somewhat
reasonable measure of actual cost.

These hacks cuts the number futile attempts made by cc and ccp to find
cross-compilers and other weird stuff. A make of the BOOTFLP kernel
has 20% less namei calls now, that is from 30647 down to 24563 calls.
