When linking statically, LIBPAM is augmented with the extra libraries
that the PAM modules require. The idea is to centralize this
information rather than scattering it about in the Makefiles of
all the applications that use (OK, will use) PAM.
There is a new variable MINUSLPAM that should be used instead of
"-lpam". In the static case, it gets -l flags for the extra required
libraries.
This approach was suggested by <bde>, but he didn't actually review
my changes.
building dlopen-able modules, and add features needed to build a
static PAM library. I think I cleaned it up some, too, but beauty
is in the eye of the beholder.
You can now build a shared library without version numbers, by
defining SHLIB_NAME to something like "pam_unix.so". If SHLIB_MAJOR
and/or SHLIB_MINOR are set, SHLIB_NAME gets the usual default value,
but it can be overridden if desired. If none of these symbols are
set, no shared library is built.
SHLIB_LINK controls the name of the symbolic link that points to
the library. If it is unset, no link is made. In the usual case,
it gets the right default: e.g., "libc.so" for ELF, nothing for
a.out. This can be overridden.
STATICOBJS can be set to a list of extra object files that should
be added to the static library but not to the shared library.
These objects are added to the profiled library too.
These changes should make it easy to use <bsd.lib.mk> for building
things such as PAM modules and dynamic linkers, for which <bsd.prog.mk>
has been abused until now.

Here's a quote from Dennis Ritchie, posted to Warren Toomey:
[January 1999]
----- Forwarded message from dmr -----
I also got mail from Norman Wilson today about the discussion.
This is mainly to confirm and fill out details of Wilson's account.
The Eighth Edition system started with (I believe) BSD 4.1c and
the work was done on VAX 11/750s -- our group did not get
a 780 until a while later.
Most of the operating system superstructure of BSD was retained
(in particular no one (even the indefatigable Norman)
wanted to get much into the paging code. Norman is also
right that the competitor was John Reiser's (and Tom London's)
32V descendant from another group at the Labs. In structure
this system had a lot to offer (in particular the buffer cache and the page
pool were unified, but it was clear that their work was not being
supported by their own management. It was used for a while on
our first 750 and also our first 11/780 ("alice", a name that lives
in netnews fame preceding the reach of Dejanews).
The big change leading to V8 was the scooping-out and replacement of
the character-device and networking part by the streams mechanism. Later,
Peter Weinberger added the file-system switch that enabled
remote file systems and prescient things ideas like /proc). Weinberger,
as Norman said, also did a simple-minded FFS.
The TCP/IP stack wasn't very important to us then and it has a mixed and
murky history. Much of it came from early CSRG work, but it was converted
to a streams approach by Robert Morris and subsequently fiddled over a lot.
Likewise, as Norman said, the applications (/bin and whatnot) were somewhat
of a mixture. Many were the locally-done versions, some were taken
from BSD in some incarnation, some from System V.

assuming USE_PERL5 is to be a no-op. Basically to allow building
of 2.2-INDEX on a 3.0 machine.
(4) Change USE_QT definition to use new shlib version (2) and

(5) Uncomment temporary Motif dependency for parallel package
building. We still need to figure out a way to install the pkg
database files, but it's a start.
(6) Move EXTRACT_SUFX up into the pre.mk area so it can be used in
exists() tests.
(7) Add MASTER_SITE_COMP_SOURCES. Note that this is defined like
"/pub/usenet/comp.sources.%SUBDIR%/" so you can specify something
like "SUBDIR=x/volume18" to select the newsgroup as well as
subdirectory name.

on the ASIX AX88140A chip. Update /sys/conf/files, RELNOTES.TXT,
/sys/i388/i386/userconfig.c, sysinstall/devices.c, GENERIC and LINT
accordingly.
For now, the only board that I know of that uses this chip is the
Alfa Inc. GFC2204. (Its predecessor, the GFC2202, was a DEC tulip card.)
Thanks again to Ulf for obtaining the board for me. If anyone runs
across another, please feel free to update the man page and/or the
release notes. (The same applies for the other drivers.)
FreeBSD should now have support for all of the DEC tulip workalike
chipsets currently on the market (Macronix, Lite-On, Winbond, ASIX).
And unless I'm mistaken, it should also have support for all PCI fast
ethernet chipsets in general (except maybe the SMC FEAST chip, which
nobody seems to ever use, including SMC). Now if only we could convince
3Com, Intel or whoever to cough up some documentation for gigabit
ethernet hardware.
Also updated RELNOTEX.TXT to mention that the SVEC PN102TX is supported
by the Macronix driver (assuming you actually have an SVEC PN102TX with
a Macronix chip on it; I tried to order a PN102TX once and got a box
labeled 'Hawking Technology PN102TX' that had a VIA Rhine board inside
it).
