2fa72ea7d4 Fix typo: compatability -> compatibility.
Compatability is not an existing english word.

b4739f39af The SVR4 module calls itself ELFOSABI_SOLARIS, and who am I to disagree
if it runs my Solaris binaries?  Add the missing "Solaris" type here
so that binaries may be branded with it rather than the seemingly-
defunct ELFOSABI_SVR4.

c815a20cb2 Change our ELF binary branding to something more acceptable to the Binutils
maintainers.

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
  * using our old method.  This is so people can still use kernel.old
  * with a new world.  This support will be removed before 5.0-RELEASE,
  * and may not last anywhere upto the actual release.  My expiration
  * time for this is about 6mo.

b5ce857bec Make brandelf explain itself a little better on error.
Also, at Boris' suggestion, add -l option to list known
ELF types.

3be5f1f5ce Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

1ffa2a8e1b Use the .Tn macro for a couple of generic FreeBSD references.
This has the desired side-effect of preventing a bad hyphenation
of the word FreeBSD in one place.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
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
insane otherwise.

fcfc24ca7d Utility to "brand" ELF binaries.
Man page to come...
For now use: <brandelf -t Linux linuxbin> to brand, and just
<brandelf> to verify branding on a ELF file. FreeBSD native is
set with <brandelf -t FreeBSD freebsdbin>.
