Some ELF feature flags indicate a request to opt-out of some feature,
for example NT_FREEBSD_FCTL_ASLR_DISABLE indicates that ASLR should be
disabled for the tagged binary. Using "aslr" as the short name for the
flag is confusing as it seems to indicate a request for ASLR to be
enabled. Rename "noaslr", and make a similar change for other opt-out
flags.

I am going to prefix opt-out ELF feature flag names with "no" to make
their meaning more clear (review D28139), but there are some uses of the
existing names already (e.g., the PR referenced below).
For now accept the older, unprefixed name as well, and emit a warning.
We can revert this after FreeBSD 13 branches.

o .MAKE.{UID,GID} represent uid and gid running make.
o allow env var MAKE_OBJDIR_CHECK_WRITABLE=no to skip writable
checks in InitObjdir. Explicit .OBJDIR target always allows
read-only directory.
o add more unit tests for META MODE

This may allow an identical elfctl invocation to be used on multiple

-s causes cmp to print nothing for differing files, for use when only
the exit status is of interest.
-z compares the file size first, for regular files, and fails the
comparison early if they do not match.
Prior to this change -s implied -z as an optimization, but this is not
valid when file offsets are specified. Now, enable the -z optimization
for -s only if both skip arguments are not provided / 0.
Note that using -z with differing skip values will currently always
fail. We may want to compare size1 - skip1 with size2 - skip2 instaead,
and in any case the man page should be clarified.

The current version of this test will effectively pass as long as one of the
specified paths is in the output, and it could even be a subset of one of
the paths.
Strengthen up the test a little bit:
* Specify beginning/end anchors for each path
* Add egrep -v checks to make sure we don't have any *additional* paths
* Ratchet down paths2 to exactly the two paths we expect to appear

This test attempts to use \t (tab intended) in a grep expression. With the
former /usr/bin/grep (i.e. gnugrep), this was interpreted as a literal 't'.
The expression would work anyways because the tr(1) usage would ultimately
replace all of the spaces with a single newline, and they would match the
paths whether they were correctly fromatted or not.
Current /usr/bin/grep (i.e. bsdgrep) is less-tolerant of ordinary-escapes, a
property of the underlying regex(3) engine, to make it easier to identify
when stuff like this happens. In-fact, this expression broke after the
switch happened.
This revision does the bare basics to fix the usage by using a printf to get
a literal tab character to insert into the expression. It also swaps out the
manual insertion of the line prefix into the grep expression by pulling
that part out of $sep and reusing it for the leading path.
The secondary issue was the tr(1) usage, since tr would only replace the
first character of string1 with the first character of string2. This has
instead been replaced by a sed expression, which similary understands \n to
be a newline on all supported versions of FreeBSD. Each path now gets
prefixed with the appropriate context that should be there (i.e. numeric
sequence followed by a tab).

FreeBSD has used ELF binaries/libraries for decades, but still has some
support for legacy a.out binaries. Portions of this have been retired
over time, but support remained in ldd, ldconfig, and gprof.
Retire gprof support; if anyone needs to do development on a.out
binaries still they will be best served by installing a full FreeBSD 2.x
or other obsolete version in a jail.
Kernel support for executing a.out binaries is unchnaged.
