1. 50+% of NO_PIE use is fixed by adding -fPIC to INTERNALLIB and other
build-only utility libraries.
2. Another 40% is fixed by generating _pic.a variants of various libraries.
3. Some of the NO_PIE use is a bit absurd as it is disabling PIE (and ASLR)
where it never would work anyhow, such as csu or loader. This suggests
there may be better ways of adding support to the tree. Many of these
cases can be fixed such that -fPIE will work but there is really no
reason to have it in those cases.
4. Some of the uses are working around hacks done to some Makefiles that are
really building libraries but have been using bsd.prog.mk because the code
is cleaner. Had they been using bsd.lib.mk then NO_PIE would not have
been needed.
We likely do want to enable PIE by default (opt-out) for non-tree consumers
(such as ports). For in-tree though we probably want to only enable PIE
(opt-in) for common attack targets such as remote service daemons and setuid
utilities. This is also a great performance compromise since ASLR is expected
to reduce performance. As such it does not make sense to enable it in all
utilities such as ls(1) that have little benefit to having it enabled.
Reported by: kib
This is currently an opt-in build flag. Once ASLR support is ready and stable
it should changed to opt-out and be enabled by default along with ASLR.
Each application Makefile uses opt-out to ensure that ASLR will be enabled by
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.

Discussed between: des@ and Shawn Webb [2]
several new kerberos related libraries and applications to FreeBSD:
o kgetcred(1) allows one to manually get a ticket for a particular service.
o kf(1) securily forwards ticket to another host through an authenticated
and encrypted stream.
o kcc(1) is an umbrella program around klist(1), kswitch(1), kgetcred(1)
and other user kerberos operations. klist and kswitch are just symlinks
to kcc(1) now.
o kswitch(1) allows you to easily switch between kerberos credentials if
you're running KCM.
o hxtool(1) is a certificate management tool to use with PKINIT.
o string2key(1) maps a password into key.
o kdigest(8) is a userland tool to access the KDC's digest interface.
o kimpersonate(8) creates a "fake" ticket for a service.
We also now install manpages for some lirbaries that were not installed
before, libheimntlm and libhx509.
- The new HEIMDAL version no longer supports Kerberos 4. All users are
recommended to switch to Kerberos 5.
- Weak ciphers are now disabled by default. To enable DES support (used
by telnet(8)), use "allow_weak_crypto" option in krb5.conf.
- libtelnet, pam_ksu and pam_krb5 are now compiled with error on warnings
disabled due to the function they use (krb5_get_err_text(3)) being
deprecated. I plan to work on this next.
- Heimdal's KDC now require sqlite to operate. We use the bundled version
and install it as libheimsqlite. If some other FreeBSD components will
require it in the future we can rename it to libbsdsqlite and use for these
components as well.
- This is not a latest Heimdal version, the new one was released while I was
working on the update. I will update it to 1.5.2 soon, as it fixes some
important bugs and security issues.
- Dropped support for standalone builds, this was only partially
supported anyway, and required so much magic in makefiles that
made life dangerous (e.g., by using the custom yacc rules).
- Got rid of .OBJDIR in makefiles -- makes building of individual
files possible again.
- Made the .x.c transformations -j safe.
- Reprogrammed LDADD to fix static build of some utilities that
was broken.
- Fixed LDFLAGS and DPADD in the WITH_OPENLDAP case -- positively
affects the contents of .depend files.
- Removed redundant .h's from SRCS, only kept those that are
generated.
- libkrb5/ INCS were bogusly installed again with libgssapi/.
- Made build-tools real tools with their own makefiles in
separate directories. This allows us to properly track
their dependencies, etc.
- Faster build, 21% less of makefile code!

Do not install games and profiled libraries to the ${CHROOTDIR}
with the initial installworld.
Eliminate the need in the second installworld. For that, make sure
_everything_ is built in the "world" environment, using the right
tool chain.
Added SUBDIR_OVERRIDE helper stuff to Makefile.inc1. Split the
buildworld process into stages, and skip some stages when
SUBDIR_OVERRIDE is set (used to build crypto, krb4, and krb5
dists).
Added NO_MAKEDB_RUN knob to Makefile.inc1 to avoid running
makewhatis(1) at the end of installworld (used when making crypto,
krb4, and krb5 dists).
In release/scripts/doFS.sh, ensure that the correct boot blocks are
used.
Moved the creation of the "crypto" dist from release.5 to
release.2.
In release.3 and doMFSKERN, build kernels in the "world"
environment. KERNELS now means "additional" kernels, GENERIC is
always built.
Ensure we build crunched binaries in the "world" environment.
Obfuscate release/Makefile some more (WMAKEENV) to achieve this.
Inline createBOOTMFS target.
Use already built GENERIC kernel modules to augment mfsfd's
/stand/modules. GC doMODULES as such.
Assorted fixes:
Get rid of the "afterdistribute" target by moving the single use
of it from sys/Makefile to etc/Makefile's "distribute".
Makefile.inc1: apparently "etc" no longer needs to be last for
"distribute" to succeed.
gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/Makefile.inc: do not override the
"install" and "distribute" targets, do it the "canonical" way.
release/scripts/{man,cat}pages-make.sh: make sure Perl manpages and
catpages appear in the right dists. Note that because Perl does
not respect the MANBUILDCAT (and NOMAN), this results in a loss of
/usr/share/perl/man/cat* empty directories. This will be fixed
soon.
Turn MAKE_KERBEROS4 into a plain boolean variable (if it is set it
means "make KerberosIV"), as documented in the make.conf(5)
manpage. Most of the userland makefiles did not test it for "YES"
anyway.
XXX Should specialized kerberized libpam versions be included into
the krb4 and krb5 dists? (libpam.a would be incorrect anyway if
both krb4 and krb5 dists were choosen.)
Make sure "games" dist is made before "catpages", otherwise games
catpages settle in the wrong dist.

Where a k4 applet has a k5 namesake, rename the k5 version
from k<app> to k5<app>. (Repo copy done).
Do some repairs to dependancies to support make world properly.
