source upgrades by falling back to GNU ar(1) as necessary. Option
WITH_BSDAR is gone. Option _WITH_GNUAR to aid in upgrades is *not*
supposed to be set by the user.
Stop bootstrapping BSD ar(1) on the next __FreeBSD_version bump, as
there are no known bugs in it. Bump __FreeBSD_version to anticipate
this and to flag the switch to BSD ar(1), should it be needed for
something.

binutils ar and ranlib to gar and granlib, respectively.
* Introduce a temporary variable WITH_GNUAR as a safety net.
When buildworld with -DWITH_GNUAR, GNU binutils ar and ranlib
will install as default ones and 'BSD' ar will be disabled.
* Bump __FreeBSD_version to reflect the import of 'BSD' ar(1).

bad code at -O2. Since this is likely caused by the low-level
optimizer, testing TARGET_ARCH rather than MACHINE_ARCH should
handle ia64 cross-compilation as well. With this work-around
in place, we can release using the current GCC and Binutils
code at the default optimization level on ia64.

that need to be activated specifically for the case of a native linker
actually are enabled. Specifically, this makes ld(1) look for shared
libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the native case, as documented in the
man page.

Only PowerPC supports both 32-bit and 64-bit targets and the
BFD_DEFAULT_TARGET_SIZE is used by the binutils code to reflect
the preferred ABI. We define BFD_DEFAULT_TARGET_SIZE for all
platforms, but based on the build machine. As such 64-bit build
machines defined BFD_DEFAULT_TARGET_SIZE incorrectly for 32-bit
targets, but since this only affects PowerPC it went unnoticed
for a long time.
The fix is to define BFD_DEFAULT_TARGET_SIZE based on the target
architecture.

This includes removing all vestiges of the old not-really supported
ability to build cross tools targeting non-FreeBSD systems, such as
m68k Lynx and NetBSD. Move as much duplicated code from platform
Makefiles into the shared Makefiles. Add a simple mechanism for
specifying ELF 'ldscripts'. Also share as many .h files as possible
(now a single bfd.h vs. one per platform).
