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.

Rationale: ident(1) is useful out of RCS, lot of scripts are using ident(1) and
failing when base is built WITHOUT_RCS.
This version is:
- fully compatible with RCS 5.7 ident.
- fully compatible with RCS 5.9 ident.
- passes all ident test from GNU RCS 5.9 test suite
This version has support for: svn extension for the Keyword id (double colon and
# before last $)
Différences with GNU RCS ident:
- no long options as found in GNU RCS 5.9 (but not commented there).
- '-V' reports nothing but has been added for compatibility.

macros on amd64 and i386. Move the definition to machine/param.h.
kgdb defines INKERNEL() too, the conflict is resolved by renaming kgdb
version to PINKERNEL().
On i386, correct the lowest kernel address. After the shared page was
introduced, USRSTACK no longer points to the last user address + 1 [*]

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

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.

Some users build FreeBSD as non-root in Perforce workspaces. By default,
Perforce sets files read-only unless they're explicitly being edited.
As a result, the -f argument must be used to cp in order to override the
read-only flag when copying source files to object directories. Bare use of
'cp' should be avoided in the future.
Update all current users of 'cp' in the src tree.

Prior to this change the build could fail as follows, if gperf is not
available (or fails):
- make(1) stops due to the gperf error, but an empty target file
(cfns.h) is still created
- the empty cfns.h is newer than the source cfns.gperf so it is not
regenerated on subsequent builds
- the gcc build fails (undefined reference to libc_name_p)

Summary:
LLVM/Clang generates relocations that our binutils doesn't understand, but newer
binutils does. I got permission from the author of a series of patches to
relicense them as GPLv2 for use in FreeBSD. The upstream git hashes are:

With the import of clang 3.5, and a few backported patches, we should be able to
move powerpc and powerpc64 to clang-as-cc soon.
Test Plan: Passes make tinderbox, so no regressions. Binaries built with clang
run on powerpc64.
