no point in adding them again. This doesn't fix any bugs; it's just for
efficiency.
libg++'s exception code causes gcc to generate (ahem!) non-conventional
assembler code in -fpic mode that gas and ld choke on. Basically, gas
and ld require than symbols referenced in the GOT (global offset table)
are actually global (as the name implies). It attempted to work around
it before, but didn't quite go far enough to prevent a core dump in ld.
This hack causes GOT referenced symbols to be forced global. This
probably breaks the __EXCEPTION_TABLE__ stuff in pic mode, but heck, it
wasn't even possible to compile with a shared library before at all.
I'm not 100% sure what the bug is. There's two possibilities:
1: gcc/cp/exception.c has to be fixed to stop doing GOT references to
local symbols, or
2: as/ld/symorder/ld.so etc need to be taught about how to keep local
symbols around so that they can be dealt with in GOT references.
John Polstra's elfkit stuff seems to deal with this fine though, which is
why I think it's a "missing feature" in our hacked gas and ld..
since rt_readenv() already takes care of not setting unsafe variables.

a (now) defunct routine that no longer exists (causing an empty .o file),

configurable fallback search paths, as well as new crt interface version.
Also:
- even faster getenv(), get all environment variable settings in a single
pass.
- ldd printf-like format specifications
- minor code cleanups, one vsprintf -> vsnprintf (harmless)
The library search sequence is a little more complete now. Before,
it'd search $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (by opendir/readdir/closedir), then read
the hints file, then read /usr/lib (again by scanning thr directory). It
would then fail if there was no "found" library.
Now, it does LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the hints file the same, but then uses
a longer fallback path. The -R path is fetched from the executable if
specified at build time, the ldconfig path is appended, and /usr/lib is
appended to that. Duplicates are suppressed. This means that simply
placing a new library in /usr/local/lib will work (the same as it did in
/usr/lib) without needing ldconfig -m. It will find it quicker if the
ldconfig is run though.
Similar changes have been made to the NetBSD ld.so, but ours is rather
different now due to John Polstra's speedups and fixes from a while back.
The ldd printf-like format support came direct from NetBSD.

RCS cannot deal with duplicate tags; the extra one always becomes

Consider the following code:
case 'O':
output_filename = malloc(strlen(arg)+4);
strcpy(output_filename, arg);
strcat(output_filename, ".tmp");
real_output_filename = arg;
return;
The idea here is to malloc() a buffer big enough to hold the name of
a supplied file name, plus ".tmp". So we malloc() 'size of filename'
bytes plus 4, right? Wrong! ".tmp" is _FIVE_ bytes long! There's a
traling '\0' which strcat() gleefully tacks on _outside_ the bounds
of the buffer. Result: program corrupts own memory. Program SEGVs at
seemingly random times. Bill not like random SEGVs. Bill smash.
Know how I found this? I've been trying to bootstrap -current on my
2.1.0-RELEASE machine at work and I couldn't seem to get libc.a built
because the linker would intermittently blow chunks while executing
things like 'ld -O foo.o -X -r foo.o'. Since this is an initial
bootstrap version of ld, it was linked against the 2.1.0 libc, who's
malloc() behaves differently than that in -current.
Presumeably ld -O doesn't blow up in -current, otherwise someone would
have spotted this already. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature.
Anyway. I'm changing the strlen(arg)+4 to strlen(arg)+5. Bah.
-O filename
Specifies the name of the output file. The file is created as
filename.tmp and when output is complete renamed to filename.
This allows us to:
