In FreeBSD 11 ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy is installed as objcopy by
default, with the option to switch back to GNU objcopy by setting
WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY in make.conf.
We plan to remove the outdated in-tree binutils in FreeBSD 12, so
remove the temporary transition aid.

The option was added only to ease the transition from GNU Binutils to
ELF Tool Chain tools, and that process is now complete (for the viable
replacements). Noting the removal in UPDATING is sufficient as we have
not shipped a release with the option.

ELF Tool Chain elfcopy is nearly a drop-in replacement for GNU objcopy,
but does not currently support PE output which is needed for building
x86 UEFI bits.
Add a src.conf knob to allow installing it as objcopy and set it by
default for aarch64 only, where we don't have a native binutils.

ELF toolchain readelf lacked some functionality at the time other tools
(like size, strip, nm, etc.) were switched over to the ELF toolchain
versions. That has been addressed as of the last update, so we can add
it to the list.

The libarchive-based replacements have been used since 2009; the GNU
ones were kept to support source upgrades from FreeBSD 6.

* Make gdbserver work on the alpha.
support building it for variant architectures. It was already
becoming clear that the former structure was too rigid and didn't
scale well.
The usual sort of makefile magic arranges to .include an architecture
specific makefile "Makefile.${MACHINE_ARCH}" in each directory
where it exists. Also, sources will be found in each subdirectory
"${MACHINE_ARCH}" that exists. This is all taken care of automatically
by the top level "Makefile.inc0".
This all seems to work right for the i386 now. I have also converted
those alpha pieces already present to the new schema as best I
could.
Also: change the BINDIR on the i386 to /usr/libexec/elf for "ar"
and "ranlib". They are not object format independent enough to
put into /usr/bin.
This finishes up the binutils import. But I am leaving it disabled
in "src/gnu/usr.bin/Makefile" for now. It is not used by anything
yet, so I'll take this opportunity to run one more round of tests
before enabling it.
