not page aligned. To do this, use the ld script gnu ld installs on my
system.
This is imperfect: LDFLAGS_BIN and LD_FLAGS_BIN describe different
things. The loader script could be better named and take into account
other architectures. And having two different mechanisms to do
basically the same thing needs study. However, it's blocking forward
progress on lld, so I'll work in parallel to sort these out.

Go ahead and defined -D_STANDALONE for all targets (only strictly
needed for some architecture, but harmless on those it isn't required
for). Also add -msoft-float to all architectures uniformly rather
that higgley piggley like it is today.

directly to the linker (LD_FLAGS) from flags passed indirectly, via the
compiler driver (LDFLAGS).
This is because several Makefiles under sys/boot/i386 and sys/boot/pc98
use ${LD} directly to link, and the normal LDFLAGS value should not be
used in these cases.

.. so that consistent compilation algorithms are used for both
architectures as in practice the binaries are expected to be
interchangeable (for time being).
Previously i386 used default setting which were equivalent to
-march=i486 -mtune=generic.
The only difference is using smaller but slower "leave" instructions.

CFLAGS having '-g' in it, clang outputs several assembly directives that
are too new for our version of binutils.
Therefore, assemble the resulting .s files with clang instead. A more
general solution can be implemented when a GNU as-compatible driver for
clang's integrated assembler appears.

- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

I think all we really need is -fno-sse2.
I really don't like cluttering up the compiler invocation,
but this bigger hammer will fix reported problems for now.
- Now that bsd.prog.mk deals with programs linked with -nostdlib
better, and has a notion of an "internal" program, use PROG
where possible. This has a good impact on the contents of
.depend files and causes programs to be linked with cc(1).
XXX: boot2 couldn't be converted as it's actually two programs.
Tested on: i386, amd64
- do not use PROG for what's not a real C program,
- use sys.mk transformation rules where possible,
- only create the "machine" symlink on AMD64,
- removed MAINTAINER lines in individual makefiles,
- added the LIBSTAND defitinion to <bsd.libnames.mk>,
- somewhat better contents in .depend files.

- Don't hard code 0x10000 as the entry point for the loader. Instead add
src/sys/boot/i386/Makefile.inc which defines a make variable with the
entry point for the loader. Move the loader's entry point up to
0x20000, which makes PXE happy.
- Don't try to use cpp to parse btxldr for the optional BTXLDR_VERBOSE,
instead use m4 to achieve this. Also, add a BTXLDR_VERBOSE knob in the
btxldr Makefile to turn this option on.
- Redo parts of cdldr's Makefile so that it now builds and installs cdboot
instead of having i386/loader/Makefile do that. Also, add in some more
variables to make the pxeldr Makefile almost identical and thus to ease
maintainability.
- Teach cdldr about the a.out format. Cdldr now parsers the a.out header
of the loader binary and relocates it based on that. The entry point of
the loader no longer has to be hardcoded into cdldr. Also, the boot
info table from mkisofs is no longer required to get a useful cdboot.
- Update the lsdev function for BIOS disks to parse other file systems
(such as DOS FAT) that we currently support. This is still buggy as
it assumes that a floppy with a DOS boot sector actually has a MBR and
parses it as such. I'll be fixing this in the future.
- The biggie: Add in support for booting off of PXE-enabled network
adapters. Currently, we use the TFTP API provided by the PXE BIOS.
Eventually we will switch to using the low-level NIC driver thus
allowing both TFTP and NFS to be used, but for now it's just TFTP.
