current_file_name and current_link_name sometimes point into the
middle of malloc()ed memory and sometimes point to alloca()ed memory,
but free() is sometimes called on them. This seems to be harmless
for the usual tar operations, but it is usually fatal for `tar -W'.
E.g., for `cd /etc; tar Wcf /tmp/foo rc', at the start of
verify_volume(), current_file_name points to alloca()ed memory, and
tar attempts to free it.
groff(1) devices for localized and non-localized pages.
Currently, for *.ISO_8859-1 locales the device in both
cases is "latin1", and for KOI8-R locale it is "koi8-r"
for localized and "ascii" for non-localized pages.

change out that made libperl.so dynamically depend on libutil.so to pick
up setproctitle() in its old location. This breaks changes involving
incomptabable libc's because ld looks for the dynamic dependency
(which it has no business doing anyway) in the wrong place - /usr/lib!
call and trap entry points so they're easy to find and change
- Use the cpuhead and allcpu list to locate globaldata for the current
cpu, rather than SMP_prvspace or __globaldata
- Use offsets into struct globaldata directly to find per-cpu variables,
rather than symbols in globals.o

when using gdb on a remote target. The fix is to restrict PT_GETDBREGS
calls to `child' and `freebsd-uthreads' targets solely.
I've been in some conversation with Brian about this, and this solution
seems to be the most appropriate one.

GCC 2.7.2.3 as that was the version of GCC in active use before the switch
to ELF.
The GCC 2.9[67] versions of these files carry more baggage and I'm not sure
the are appropriate for this linker.
Add the -U and --unlink-first options which are the offical verions of our
--unlink localism.
Add support for the "TAR_OPTIONS" environmental variable.

Looking in src/Makfile* it looks like all the "WANT_AOUT" support
has been removed, maybe these should just go away...
Note that the a.out `ld' reaches over into src/contrib/gcc for libiberty
bits. This is biting us because the libiberty bits have evolved beyond
what the a.out `ld' can handle.
This change fixes the broken world, but only because very few have
"WANT_AOUT" defined.
present questinos with a different default answer. Somebody submitted
a patch to me once which did something this but I lost it (my bad) so
I'm just going to re-implement it with thanks to whomever it was who
gave me the idea.
