quite a few enhancements and bug fixes. There are still some known
deficiencies, but it should be adequate to get us started with ELF.

MOUNT_LFS to "lfs" in one place. The merge was painful because it
conflicted with cosmetic FreeBSD changes. lfs_cleanerd still compiles
cleanly but has aproximately the same chance of working as before (0).
emacs a.out file, self-generated by emacs's "unexec" function in
"unexsunos4.c", is invalid. In particular, its "_end" symbol has
the wrong value. The dynamic linker was using the value of that
symbol to initialize its sbrk break level.
The workaround is to peek at the executable's a.out header in
memory, and calculate what "_end" should be based on the segment
sizes.
I will work out a fix for emacs and send it to the FSF. This
dynamic linker workaround is still worthwhile, if only to avoid
forcing all emacs users to build a new version.
Note: xemacs gives a bogus warning at startup, for related reasons.
The warning is harmless and can safely be ignored. I will send a
patch to the xemacs maintainers to get rid of it, and meanwhile
add a patch file to our port.
things so that it uses the same malloc as is used by the program
being executed. This has several advantages, the big one being
that you can now debug core dumps from dynamically linked programs
and get useful information out of them. Until now, that didn't
work. The internal malloc package placed the tables describing
the loaded shared libraries in a mapped region of high memory that
was not written to core files. Thus the debugger had no way of
determining what was loaded where in memory. Now that the dynamic
linker uses the application's malloc package (normally, but not
necessarily, the system malloc), its tables end up in the regular
heap area where they will be included in core dumps. The debugger
now works very well indeed, thank you very much.

Bring the program a little closer to conformance with style(9).
There is still a long way to go.
Add minimal const correctness changes to get rid of compiler warnings
caused by the recent const changes in <dlfcn.h> and <link.h>.
Improve performance by eliminating redundant calculations of symbols'
hash values.
This change changes the default handling of linemode so that older and/or
stupider telnet clients can still get wakeup characters like <ESC> and
<CTRL>D to work correctly multiple times on the same line, as in csh
"set filec" operations. It also causes CR and LF characters to be read by
apps in certain terminal modes consistently, as opposed to returning
CR sometimes and LF sometimes, which broke existing apps. The change
was shown to fix the problem demonstrated in the FreeBSD telnet client,
along with the telnet client in Solaris, SCO, Windows '95 & NT, DEC OSF,
NCSA, and others.
A similar change will be incorporated in the crypto version of telnetd.
This resolves bin/771 and bin/1037.
is asking for trouble (sequential database enumerations can get caught
in an infinite loop). The yp_mkdb(8) utility avoids putting such records
into a database, but ypxfr does not. Today I got bit by a NULL entry in
one of the amd maps on my network, which is served by a SunOS master.
The map was transfered successfully to my FreeBSD slave, but attempting
to dump it with ypcat(1) caused ypserv(8) to transmit the same record
over and over again, making the map appear to be infinitely large. I
finally noticed the problem while testing a new version of amd under
development at the Columbia CS department, which began gobbling up insane
amounts of memory while trying to swallow the map.
To deal with this problem, I'm modifying ypxfr to watch for records
with zero-length keys and turn them into something less destructive
before writing them to the database.
plain 0 should be used. This happens to work because we #define
NULL to 0, but is stylistically wrong and can cause problems
for people trying to port bits of code to other environments.

Add a -Bforcedynamic option which generates a dynamic object even
if no shared libraries were given in the link.
Make RRS in text section warnings conditional on "-assert pure-text"
so that I can link non-PIC kernel modules without tons of link
errors. Changes to bsd.lib.mk to follow.
Fix a couple of bugs exposed by the fact that the kernel is not
linked at zero.

modules from src/bin/ls, and handling exec(_PATH_LS,..) as a
special case, very useful in an environment where many users
are given chroot access. "~/etc/{s}pwd.db" files are still
needed if uid/gid->user/group translation is desired.
To enable this it must be compiled with the make variable
FTP_INTERNAL_LS defined, either in /etc/make.conf or the

ld-specific flags. LDFLAGS is really for ld-related flags for cc,
not for ld, and some flags, e.g., -Bshareable, mean completely
different things to cc and ld. Having the wrong things in LDFLAGS
also broke the standard ${PROG} target. This was kludged around
by using a special rule that depended on LDFLAGS being bogus.
Fixing `make depend' broke the special rule but fixed the standard
rule (except in the DESTDIR case, which was handled more strictly
here than elsewhere).
'sane' standard (not raw) settings before abort/exiting; move
