are installed in the same place as on 2.2.*; this will almost
certainly change in the future.
While I'm here, finish off the shared library brouhaha with miniperl.
1) Part of the NOSHARED fix; I messed this up and managed to get
perl installed without being linked to the shared library libperl.so.
This broke Perl in ELF when linking in shared objects.
2) Start of a cleanup of the man3 page location. This will (eventually)
allow for a the ports to put their pages in the "normal" ${PREFIX}-
based location.
3) Nuke cruft.
1) Inspired by JB's finding of a hardcoded /usr/bin/ranlib in the
config files, these have been properly cleaned up and have
been personalised for FreeBSD, not MarkM.
2) Inspired by Peter, copying of the lib/ext etc dirs has been
replaced by a link farm.
3) Common code has been moved to a higher-level Makefile.inc.
This has been tested with a make -j8.
Remove the /usr/bin path to ranlib and just let the build environment
set the path. Running an aout version of ranlib on an elf library
is something we'd prefer not to do. I'm surprised that the build
didn't spit any errors when it did this. Shrug.
1) Fix up the NOSHARED stuff (bde)
2) Accomodate CFLAGS (vanilla)
3) Provide separate files for i386 and alpha (Doug Rabson)
In case 3, the supplied files were corrupted, but the concepts
sound enough, so I just copied what exists into
config.SH-{elf|aout}.{i386|alpha}. Alpha team, go ahead and do what
is necessary on config.SH-elf.alpha. :-)
(Tested by make -j12 buildworld on a 4-cpu SMP box).
Address (but not solve) ELF shareable objects causing perl to
dump core. (I have a heck of a lot to learn about ELF).
Lots of help by: bde, jkh, jb and others
bootstrapped by `make world'. The version just built in ".."
normally won't work if the target system is not binary compatible.
The bootstrapped version has a better chance of working.
This makes the fixes and bugs in the previous 3 commits irrelevant.
Rev.1.11 was just wrong and rev.1.10 became unnecessary when
perl/perl was added to build-tools. Don't expect to build perl/usub
without using `make world' or equivalent if you don't have perl
installed.
CURDIR it has been built without an obj directory; however if it is in
neither of those places, we expect it to be in DESTDIR.
Yes Bruce, I know this is broken because the host is not supposed to be
the same as the target, but we need to get the hosted build working
properly first before even attempting a cross compiled operating
system build. That will need to concept of TOOLSDIR or something that
can be mapped to DESTDIR in the case of a hosted build and set to the
installed tools in a cross compiled build. Later, later, later!
perl executable from overriding the object directory path search where
perl is most likely to be. Most people haven't seen this because it
defaulted to /usr/bin/perl which might be OK as a fallback, but when
bootstrapping a new version (or the *first* version on alpha), we don't
really want to use /usr/bin/perl.
Strong 2.2 and 2.1.x candidate. Someone should review the patch before,
however.
The maintainer of the Perl5 port should probably introduce a similar patch
there.
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.
peeking inside of Chris Torek's stdio library internals. This is
similar to the code used for other systems, but didn't work on CT's new
implementation.

. rename the function to main'gethostname, so it can be called unqualified,
. strip the trailing \0 character, closes PR # bin/1084,
. a better way to express an insane long string.
