As of r361857 all BINUTILS options are disabled by default - ports
have been changed to depend on binutils if they require GNU as, and
all base system assembly files have been switched to use Clang's
integrated assembler.

Previously we descended into as only if MK_BINUTILS was true, including
during the bootstrap tool phase. BINUTILS is now disabled by default on
all archs, and we failed to build it during amd64 bootstrap.
Descend into as if either BINUTILS or BINUTILS_BOOTSTRAP is enabled.
This is not quite correct: we should either have the test also depend on
BOOTSTRAPPING, or set BINUTILS to the value of BINUTILS_BOOTSTRAP during
the bootstrap phase. However, this simple change fixes the build and
has been tested, and binutils will be removed completely in the near
future.
The in-tree binutils is old and will not be updated. It does not support
all archs supported by FreeBSD, and for the archs it does support not all
CPU features are supported.
Other tools have migrated to copyfree alternatives. Although llvm-objdump
is nearly a drop-in replacement for GNU objdump it is missing a few options
and has some differences in output format. For now just remove GNU objdump;
ports and developers can use a contemporary, maintained version from ports
or packages. We can revisit installing llvm-objdump as objdump in the
future.

This change allows any downstream or otherwise consumer to easily override
the new -fno-common default on a temporary basis without having to hack into
src.sys.mk, and also makes it a bit easier to search for these specific
cases where -fno-common must be overridden with -fcommon or else the build
will fail.
The gdb build, the only program requiring -fcommon on head/, is switched
over as an example usage. It will need it on all branches, so this does not
harm future mergability.

In-tree gdb is essentially obsolete. We kept it for sparc64 (because
gdb in ports lacked sparc64 support) and as a fallback for crashinfo.
gdb was installed to /libexec on all archs other than sparc64, where the
WITHOUT_GDB_LIBEXEC option was default, with gdb installed to /usr/bin.
With sparc64's retirement WITH_GDB_LIBEXEC became the default for all
architectures, but it was still possible to set it off and install gdb
into /usr/bin.
As the next step in gdb's retirement, remove the option and install gdb
only into /libexec as the crashinfo fallback. We expect users to install
the gdb port or package for debugging. The in-tree gdb lacks support for
a number of supported architectures and does not support contemporary
DWARF debug info.

As described in the comment, gdb relies on some of the linker magic that
happens with -fcommon. I suspect the life expectancy of gdb-in-base is low
enough that this isn't worth spending much time addressing, especially given
the vintage. Hit it with the -fcommon hammer so that it continues to just
work.

Now that we no longer have GCC 4.2.1 in the tree and can assume FreeBSD

unconditionally and retire the GPL dtc.
GPL dtc now has FreeBSD CI support via Cirrus-CI to help ensure it
continues to build/work on FreeBSD and is available in the ports tree
if needed.
The copy of (copyfree licensed) libfdt that we actually use is in

removed along with the rest of the GPL dtc.

As described in Warner's email message[1] to the FreeBSD-arch mailing
list we have reached GCC 4.2.1's retirement date. At this time all
supported architectures either use in-tree Clang, or rely on external
toolchain (i.e., a contemporary GCC version from ports).
GCC 4.2.1 was released July 18, 2007 and was imported into FreeBSD later
that year, in r171825. GCC has served us well, but version 4.2.1 is
obsolete and not used by default on any architecture in FreeBSD. It
does not support modern C and does not support arm64 or RISC-V.
Thanks to everyone responsible for maintaining, updating, and testing
GCC in the FreeBSD base system over the years.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

As of r356514 LLVM's libunwind is used as the DWARF unwinder on all
supported CPU architectures, and GCC and its libraries will be removed
soon. Retire the build infrastructure for GCC's unwinder; from here
if there are any unwinder bugs (on any arch) the path forward is to fix
LLVM's libunwind.
r356356 started providing libssp based on ^/lib/libc/secure and disconnected
this version from the build. This one did formally provide runtime support
for _FORTIFY_SOURCE, but FreeBSD lacks the build support that would have
been needed to take advantage of it.

For libssp.so, rebuild stack_protector.c with FORTIFY_SOURCE stubs that just
abort built into it.
For libssp_nonshared.a, steal stack_protector_compat.c from
^/lib/libc/secure and massage it to maintain that __stack_chk_fail_local
is a hidden symbol.
libssp is now built unconditionally regardless of {WITH,WITHOUT}_SSP in the
build environment, and the gcclibs version has been disconnected from the
build in favor of this one.
