As a side-effect, this also fixes a bug in the ordering of global

It doesn't contain any assembly language code, so it should work
fine on all architectures. (I have tested it on the i386 and the
alpha.) The old assembly language files crt[in].S are now empty
shells that generate no code or data. They should not be removed
any time soon, because the various versions of gcc in src and ports
expect them to exist.
Next I will move crtbegin.c into a new common machine-independent
directory, and adjust the i386-elf Makefile to use that version.
After that I will adjust the alpha Makefile to use the common

After we established our branding method of writing upto 8 characters of
the OS name into the ELF header in the padding; the Binutils maintainers
and/or SCO (as USL) decided that instead the ELF header should grow two new
fields -- EI_OSABI and EI_ABIVERSION. Each of these are an 8-bit unsigned
integer. SCO has assigned official values for the EI_OSABI field. In
addition to this, the Binutils maintainers and NetBSD decided that a better
ELF branding method was to include ABI information in a ".note" ELF
section.
With this set of changes, we will now create ELF binaries branded using
both "official" methods. Due to the complexity of adding a section to a
binary, binaries branded with ``brandelf'' will only brand using the
EI_OSABI method. Also due to the complexity of pulling a section out of an
ELF file vs. poking around in the ELF header, our image activator only
looks at the EI_OSABI header field.
Note that a new kernel can still properly load old binaries except for
Linux static binaries branded in our old method.

* For a short period of time, ``ld'' will also brand ELF binaries

For constructors, the object files used to be processed from first
to last; now they're done from last to first. (Destructors are done
in the opposite order, as required by the C++ standard.) This makes
us consistent with standard gcc and egcs compilers. It also
eliminates ordering differences between dynamic and static
executables.

pretty crufty.
Don't cheat on your make world for this update. A lot of things
have to be rebuilt for it to work, including the compiler and all
of the profiled libraries.
Move a.out libraries to /usr/lib/aout to make space for ELF libs.
Make rtld usr /usr/lib/aout as default library path.
Make ldconfig reject /usr/lib as an a.out library path.

This will after a make world & reboot give a system that no

We are getting close to an ELF make world, but I'll let this
all settle for a week or two...
Add a bootstrap mode so that non-rtld versions of these objects can
be built when bootstrapping the system with NetBSD tools, headers
and libraries. Once the FreeBSD tools are built, the FreeBSD headers
are installed and *then* these objects can be recompiled with the
rtld references. Phew.
asm code didn't link the way it was supposed to and the calling convention
for the entry "function" turned out to be very different. On alpha
it's a true function, but on i386 it's a fudge. Blech.
So jdp suggested keeping separate sets of source and avoiding lots
of #ifdefs. These files are based on his i386-elf code, with crt1.c
borrowing code from NetBSD's crt0. The copyright reflects that.
Complicating matters, the code turned out to be difficult to bootstrap
build using NetBSD tools. To compile against the FreeBSD rtld header
requires FreeBSD specific headers, but these can't be installed until
the tools are built, and they can't be built without the FreeBSD crt
objects. Anal retentive. So I introduced a HAVE_RTLD #define that isn't
set during the build process until all the tools are built and the
headers installed.
now that has been committed.
The makefile is derived from the i386-elf version, modified to pick
up most of the source (except crt1.c) from i386-elf. With minor changes
to i386-elf/crt1.c, this directory can be combined with i386-elf to
be a single csu/elf directory for all seasons.

The csu/i386-elf should be renamed as csu/elf and this directory

into libc. This reduces the size of every dynamically linked
executable by 248 bytes, and it reduces the size of static executables
by a lesser amount. It also eliminates some global namespace
pollution.
With this change in place, the source for dlfcn.h should probably
be moved to "/usr/src/include". I'll save that for another day.
Compatibility note: Programs which use dlopen, if compiled on
systems with this change, will not run on systems with a libc from

that is OK.
common. Add one do-nothing element to each set. This ensures that
the linker realizes that they are linker sets rather than simple
commons, and makes it possible to link c++rt0.o into every shared
library regardless of whether it is a C++ library or not. Without
this change, the constructors and destructors in the main program
could be executed multiple times.
This change is going to make it possible to get rid of the
CPLUSPLUSLIB makefile variable once and for all. It is a piece of
the solution to PR gnu/3505 (gcc -shared). Finally, it fixes a
heretofore unreported bug: If CPLUSPLUSLIB was set in a makefile
for a C++ shared library that had no static constructors or
destructors in it, then the main program's constructors and
destructors would be executed multiple times.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

I am also adding a work-around to the dynamic linker, to cope with

our build of libtcl which would get link errors when linked static.
John Polstra once mentioned that this was on his "todo" list.
Note that one can use:
cc -Wl,-Bstatic -o foo foo.o

a fully functional runtime linker so the executable can call dlopen() and
have it work. (I've tested this)
and forwards compatable with version 3. This is needed to enable storing
a run-time library path in the dynamic linking headers. The crt startup
tries version 4 first, and falls back to version 3, so an executable that
is linked on -current will work with the ld.so on 2.1.x and less.

clears the way once again for linking c++rt0.o into all libraries,

that change yet, because there is still a bootstrapping problem
for "make world".)
Also, removed a check which ensured that the constructor count in

the loop that invokes the static constructors. That makes it safe
to link c++rt0.o into any shared library, even one that does not
have any static constructors. Formerly, doing that would cause a
bus error. If the library has no static constructors, __CTOR_LIST__
comes out as a simple 4-byte COMMON region, and it does not have
the usual NULL word that terminates the list of constructors. This
caused the old code to "call" a garbage address via the non-existent
entry __CTOR_LIST__[1].
The analogous code that invokes the static destructors was already safe.
This change is fully backward-compatible.
