I.e., not only copy them to a scratch dir, but also make them use saved
copies of libraries and locale files. That gives us several benefits:
1) ABI breakages should no longer affect installworld over the live system.
2) It becomes safe to run installworld while still running the old kernel.
However, it can be reasonable to save the old /rescue before that to be
able to run the old reboot(8), as the new binaries are rather likely to
fail with the old kernel. Anyhow, it's now possible to upgrade a system
in a single reboot _reliably_.
3) With a bit of hackery around rtld(8), it becomes possible to do destructive
cross-installs, e.g., i386->amd64 over the live system.
The only shared item left between the old and new systems is rtld(8),
which cannot be run from a saved copy easily because its full
pathname is stored in the respective field of each ELF executable.
(In theory, that field could be overridden, e.g., from the environment,
but this can lead to security issues.) That's why a destructive
cross-install isn't possible w/o hackery yet.

the threading libraries is built. This simplifies the
logic in makefiles that need to check if the pthreads
support is present. It also fixes a bug where we would
build a threading library that we shouldn't have built:
for example, building with WITHOUT_LIBTHR and the default
value of DEFAULT_THREADING_LIB (libthr) would mistakenly
build the libthr library, but not install it.

their dependency on libc and its versioned symbols. For that to work,
libc needs to be built before any other shared library that might depend
on it. Add necessary glue to make that happen.
Warning, after symbol versioning is enabled, going back is not easy
(use WITHOUT_SYMVER at your own risk).
Change the default thread library to libthr.
There most likely still needs to be a version bump for at least the
thread libraries. If necessary, this will happen later.
lib32 build somewhat. Specifically, instead of spamming
${CC} et al with -I${LIB32TMP}/usr/include which can be
harmful (as has been demonstrated by the ncursesw WIP),
use slightly different approach to achieve the same goal.
This also simplifies things a bit.

- Remove libnetgraph from the list of prebuilt libraries as
no other library depends on it (snmp_netgraph.so does not
count as we don't build it in the "libraries" target).
- Restore libssh dependencies when compiling with Kerberos
support.
I found one bug. Pass our idea of TARGET_ARCH and TARGET down to
XMAKE, the cross-tools make. Previously it worked because usually
TARGET_ARCH was specified on the initial make's command line.
This should also allow us to simplify the "universe" target, which
I'm currently testing.
TARGET_ARCH correctly. Now it does, even for pc98. We should suggest
TARGET=foo in preference to TARGET_ARCH because the former is
unambiguous and the latter isn't, so update the docs.
This means that a long standing gripe I've had with this comes to a
close. I can build pc98 w/o specify both things. make TARGET=arm
works (rather than trying to build a arm:amd64 image and dying badly
in the attempt).
If you specify only TARGET_ARCH, then you get the old behavior.
# we can likely simplify the UNIVERSE target now to use this, but I'm not
# up for breaking that tonight :-).
# We should consider adding some kind of sanity check for TARGET_ARCH
# and TARGET.
environment for cross building (the same one you'd get interactively
in make buildenv). This cannot be a simple
make -f Makefile.inc1 -V WMAKEENV
because in PATH is not set correctly unless one takes a trip through
the Makefile/Makefile.inc1 indirection, the logic of which is too
large to reproduce outside of Makefiles.
to post January 26 systems where gensnmptree(1) code was already fixed,
there was a timeframe between February 14 and February 27 when
usr.sbin/bsnmpd/ including gensnmptree was disconnected from build, so
if you upgraded in this timeframe, you ended up with the 700014 system
but still with a buggy gensnmptree binary. This also means not being
able to buildworld now.
