fea15783d0 BINDIR is now specified in a single place. There are no cross-architecture
issues with this utility.

09ce8fd795 Make the binutils strip ELF-only for now. It isn't quite right for a.out. 1998-03-15 02:08:04 +00:00

ab5ad3a4b5 Restructure the binutils hierarchy somewhat in order to better
support building it for variant architectures.  It was already
becoming clear that the former structure was too rigid and didn't
scale well.

The usual sort of makefile magic arranges to .include an architecture
specific makefile "Makefile.${MACHINE_ARCH}" in each directory
where it exists.  Also, sources will be found in each subdirectory
"${MACHINE_ARCH}" that exists.  This is all taken care of automatically
by the top level "Makefile.inc0".

This all seems to work right for the i386 now.  I have also converted
those alpha pieces already present to the new schema as best I
could.

Also: change the BINDIR on the i386 to /usr/libexec/elf for "ar"
and "ranlib".  They are not object format independent enough to
put into /usr/bin.

b6e7a280a9 Fix the broken installation of strip. It tried to use the installed
strip program (via "install") to strip itself.  But the program
wasn't executable because "install" hadn't made it so yet.  I
borrowed the method used for the old strip to get around this.

2e280533a1 Add bmakefiles for building binutils from the contrib tree.
This finishes up the binutils import.  But I am leaving it disabled
in "src/gnu/usr.bin/Makefile" for now.  It is not used by anything
yet, so I'll take this opportunity to run one more round of tests
before enabling it.
