gas for i386 targeted to NT for those (like me) who have to do work
targeted to NT, but can't stand actually looking at it all day long.
I cross build apps on FreeBSD and just run them on NT later. Life is
better that way.
Allow for the case where the host architecture might also be listed
in CROSS_ARCH, so don't do things twice. This situation can arise if you
want NT support in binutils (CROSS_ARCH=i386 CROSS_FORMAT=winnt).
When I imported EGCS into contrib/egcs/ I failed to prune out
egcs/gcc/cp/hash.h which is generated from gxx.gperf. Thus `cc1plus' wasn't
using the hash.h we generated by cc/cc_tools/Makefile, but rather the one in
egcs/gcc/cp/.
When I imported contrib/gcc/ I did prune gcc/cp/hash.h. Unfortunately the
GCC maintainers weren't smart on their file nameing and there is also a
egcs/gcc/hash.h (name overloading does NOT work as well on the filesystem
as in C++...). Due to the -I ordering we are were then picking up gcc/hash.h
when compiling `cc1plus'.
${LIB} was wrong at dependency-parsing time, so dependencies for
libgcc_r*.a were wrong. This somehow worked right, except libgcc_r*.a
were always out of date.
-----------------------------
Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha
and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the
new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the
new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c
The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the
new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG
signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not
be a problem because current applications don't use any
signals higher than NSIG.
There are version bumps for the following libraries:
libdialog
libreadline
libc
libc_r
libedit
libftpio
libss
These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures
visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and
may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries
that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate
issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the
new range to its fullest.
NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been
given one now.
NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for
the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after
doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one
to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer.
According to good taste this means that I will receive a
badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled,
drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)
NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The
change cause sys/types to be included along the way which
contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider
this a solution, but more a workaround.
