Bruce Evans b36c1562e1 Honor ${LDFLAGS} for building svr4_genassym. This is part of fixing
world breakage (mainly for cross-world cases).  The world Makefile
attempts to build tools static so that nonexistent or wrong shared
libraries and interpreters don't get used.  This is broken anyway
since the world Makefile doesn't know about svr4_genassym.

Force building svr4_genassym static.  This is part of "fixing"
aout-to-elf-build breakage.  aout-to-elf-build abuses NOTOOLS to
avoid rebuilding all the aout tools.  This saves time and avoids
some complications.  However, it breaks all the internal tools --
they get linked to target libraries which might not work.  Cases
where the host can run the target's static libraries are "fixed"
by encrufting all Makefiles that build internal tools to build the
tools static.

Don't add .depend to CLEANFILES -- it just breaks the separation of
`make cleandepend' from `make clean'.

Removed some superflous explicit dependencies.

README
svr4.sh

This is a SysVR4 emulator derived from work done as part of the NetBSD
Project by Christos Zoulas.  It has been ported to FreeBSD by Mark Newton.

To use it:

1.  Add "pseudo-device streams" to your kernel config file and rebuild,
   reboot.

2.  Build and install the svr4 module in /sys/modules/svr4

3.  Type "svr4" to start it up.

4.  Grab compat_sol26.tar.gz or compat_svr4.tar.gz from
    http://www.freebsd.org/~newton/freebsd-svr4 and install them in
    /compat/svr4

5.  Run "sh SVR4_MAKEDEV all" in /compat/svr4/dev

6.  Mount a Solaris/x86 CD-ROM on /cdrom

7.  Brand any executables you want to run

8.  See if they work.

It's early days yet, folks -- You'll probably have trouble getting 100%
functionality out of most things (specifically, poll() on a socket doesn't
look like it works at the moment, so Netscape doesn't work (among other
things)).  Patches will be appreciated (use send-pr).
