through the use of a new build directive, MACHINE_CPU, which contains a
list of the CPU generations/features for which optimizations are desired.
This feature will be extended to cover the ports tree in the future.
Currently OpenSSL provides optimizations for i386, i586 and i686-class
CPUs. Currently it has not been tested on an i386 or i486.
Teach make(1) to provide sensible defaults for MACHINE_CPU if it is not
defined (namely, the lowest common denominator CPU we support for each
architecture). Currently this is i386 for the i386 architecture and ev4
for the alpha. sys.mk also sets the variable as a last resort for
consistency with MACHINE_ARCH and bootstrapping from very old versions of
make.
Benchmarks show a significant speed increase even in the i386 case, with
additional improvements for i586 and i686 systems. For maximum performance
define MACHINE_CPU=i686 i586 i386 in /etc/make.conf.

.PATH to ${.CURDIR}/[...]/kern , the "exists" expression will fail for the
form exists(${.CURDIR}/[...]/kern/). This appears to be happening because
make is searching for the argument to "exists" by using .PATH rather than a
relative search, because .PATH and the argument match at the beginning.
Additionally, make appears to consider a path that starts with ${.CURDIR}
as relative, even though it expands to an absolute path.
The reason that most people aren't seeing this problem is that the absolute
paths of /usr/src/sys and /sys are also searched, so as long as the kernel
source can be found in at least one of those places, no problems surface.
This problem was inadvertently introduced on 1 December 2000, with the
addition of the sysvipc modules.

might be "conventional ${LIB} library".

When we're more convinced that it'll work, we might try this

then it may be overridden by the implicit .sh rule.

supported by the loader (and will remain supported for a while) - but the
kernel side presently doesn't know how to deal with DT_NEEDED.

become much more interesting shortly.
