merge of parallel duplicate work by Steve Price and myself. :-]
There are some changes to the build that are my fault... mkinit.c was
trying (poorly) to duplicate some of the work that make(1) is designed to
do. The Makefile hackery is my fault too, the depend list was incomplete
because of some explicit OBJS+= entries, so mkdep wasn't picking up their
source file #includes.
This closes a pile of /bin/sh PR's, but not all of them..

(Note, this is mostly going to be conflicts, which is expected. Our entire
sh source has a mainline, so this should not change anything except for
a few new files appearing. I dont think they are a problem)
didn't correctly start background jobs anymore. Strange that nobody
was complaining...
Add a dummy target for `builtins' in the Makefile, to prevent it
from attempting to build this file by compiling builtins.c. :-/
traditional behaviour, and it violates Posix.2.
Fixes PR # bin/880: /bin/sh incorrectly parse...
Fixes also an earlier problem report about the shell not evaluating
loops correctly. (Not files via GNATS.)

This means that a script containing:
echo 1
set -v
echo 2
will now produce output, like it does on SYSV machines and other 'proper'
/bin/sh implementations..
This is done by a slight restructure of the input processor allowing it to
read chunks from the file at a time, but process the data by line from the
chunk.

o fix brokeness for 1>&5 redirection, where `5' was an invalid file
descriptor, but no error message has been generated
o fix brokeness for redirect to/from myself case
command and badly needed in sh(1) for everybody who wants to modify
the system-wide limits from inside /etc/rc.
The options are similar to other system's implemantations of this
command, with the FreeBSD additions for -m (memoryuse) and -p (max
processes) that are not available on other systems.
sh -c [-aCefinuvx] command_string [ command_name [argument ...] ] 1
4.56.3 Options
-c Read commands from the command_string operand. Set the
value of special parameter 0 (see 3.5.2) from the value of
the command_name operand and the positional parameters
($1, $2, etc.) in sequence from the remaining argument
operands.

When comparing my recent parser change against the ash in 1.1.5.1, i
found that a couple of other problems in the same area has been fixed
there, but not in 2.2. Semicolons and EOF do also delimit words...
The && and || tokens do also terminate a command, not only the
newline.
While i was at it, disabled trace code by default, it served no good
purpose since it required the use of a debugger anyway to be turned
on. Instead, placed a hint in the Makefile on how to turn it on.
This makes the shell ~ 10 % faster and ~ 4 KB smaller. :)

There is a bug in sh: the built in command "fc -l" generates
a core dump (*NULL in not_fcnumber).
According to the sh manual page (fc -l [-nr] [first [last]]), fc -l
is a correct sequence (in that case, values are defaulted to -16 and -1)
but fails when first is not given.
MKINIT line that doesn't have a comment on it (we have at least two).
This mkinit program was written by someone who obviously doesn't believe
in defensive programming. :-( There's a LOT of work that needs to be done
on this thing. :-( :-( :-(
find it in /bin. This is something of a kludge, I know, but consider
my limited alternatives: I can't make this an execvp() without making
people scream that I introduced a failure point or slowed down pwd,
and I can't make it an optional macro since crunch doesn't let you pass
arbitrary command-line args to the build of one of its crunch-ees.
This is the simplest, if not the nicest looking, solution I could come up
with.
This should fix it (passed my test cases). Originally discovered with
perl's Configure (well, in FreeBSD, I don't know how the NetBSD folks
discovered it).

automagically. -lfoo has to be right to work, but ${LIBFO0} is too
easy to forget or misspell; nothing checks it and it should be
different for shared libraries.
