reported as being an absolute path to the "shared library", at least
it's not really a relative path.

debugging support as well. Debugging module support is handled
identically to kernel debugging support, right down to poor
choice of make variable names.
directory does not exist, instead of creating/overwriting a file
with the name of the (expected) directory. Yes, this deviates a bit
from nearly all other install targets in the tree, but let's face it,
removing a modules directory is not all that uncommon a mistake,
and finding a file with the contents of the last module installed
is a baaad surprise at boot time..

Replace the a.out emulation of 'struct linker_set' with something
a little more flexible. <sys/linker_set.h> now provides macros for
accessing elements and completely hides the implementation.
The linker_set.h macros have been on the back burner in various
forms since 1998 and has ideas and code from Mike Smith (SET_FOREACH()),
John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion
of the rest of the kernel to use it).
The macros declare a strongly typed set. They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.
For ELF, we use the magic ld symbols (__start_<setname> and
__stop_<setname>). Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the
trick about how to force ld to provide them for kld's.
For a.out, we use the old linker_set struct.
NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated. This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.
The runtime linker has a new method to find the linker set
boundaries depending on which backend format is in use.
linker sets are still module/kld unfriendly and should never be used
for anything that may be modular one day.

our default install, it doesn't really offer any additional security.

this gives us several benefits, including:
* easier extensibility- new optional methods can be added to
ac97/mixer/channel classes without having to fixup every driver.
* forward compatibility for drivers, provided no new mandatory methods are
added.
.PATH to ${.CURDIR}/[...]/kern , the "exists" expression will fail for the
form exists(${.CURDIR}/[...]/kern/). This appears to be happening because
make is searching for the argument to "exists" by using .PATH rather than a
relative search, because .PATH and the argument match at the beginning.
Additionally, make appears to consider a path that starts with ${.CURDIR}
as relative, even though it expands to an absolute path.
The reason that most people aren't seeing this problem is that the absolute
paths of /usr/src/sys and /sys are also searched, so as long as the kernel
source can be found in at least one of those places, no problems surface.
This problem was inadvertently introduced on 1 December 2000, with the
addition of the sysvipc modules.
via the MODULE_VERSION() and MODULE_DEPEND() macros that both the loader
and kld system know how to deal with. The old DT_NEEDED tag is still
supported by the loader (and will remain supported for a while) - but the
kernel side presently doesn't know how to deal with DT_NEEDED.
do not have the kernel you wish to compile against in either
/usr/src/sys or /sys, then you will need to set SYSDIR to point to the
sys directory of the source tree that contians the source.
Also, minor tweaks to the load/unload targets from Bruce.

this makes the NOFSCHG flag redundant. NOFSCHG will still be honoured by
bsd.lib.mk but is valid for buildworld only. NOFSCHG is still implemented in
the old way (ie. _not_ ".if NOFSCHG then { INSTALLFLAGS_EDIT+=:S/schg/,/ }"
to emphasize the fact that NOFSCHG is only supported in a limited
fashion and for buildworld.
The interface and implementation are such that future use of flags such
as sappnd can also be easily removed or altered (perhaps to uappnd).

Added a SYMLINKS macro. This works the same as LINKS, except it
creates symlinks and the linked-to pathname may be relative. This
is more flexible than LN_FLAGS, since it supports installing
symlinks independently of hard links.
Use `ln -f[s] ...' instead of `rm -f ...; ln [-s] ...' for LINKS and
SYMLINKS. This is equivalent if the target is neither a directory nor
a symlink to a directory.
