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.

and finish the job. ncurses is now the only Makefile in the tree that
uses it since it wasn't a simple mechanical change, and will be
addressed in a future commit.
This compiler flag enforces that that people either mark variables
static or use an external declarations for the variable, similar to how
-Wmissing-prototypes works for functions.
Due to the fact that Yacc/Lex generate code that cannot trivially be
changed to not warn because of this (lots of yy* variables), add a
NO_WMISSING_VARIABLE_DECLARATIONS that can be used to turn off this
specific compiler warning.
Announced on: toolchain@
- old yacc(1) use to magicially append stdlib.h, while new one don't
- new yacc(1) do declare yyparse by itself, fix redundant declaration of
'yyparse'

Rename ...write_bytes... to ...write_records..., that's what they do.
Move writer .h stuff into writer private .h file.
Change logic in writer to support both fifolog usage in FreeBSD and
Measured usage better, by always using an input buffer.
Various cleanups.
Although groff_mdoc(7) gives another impression, this is the ordering
most widely used and also required by mdocml/mandoc.

I was considering committing all these patches one by one, but as
discussed with brooks@, there is no need to do this. If we ever
need/want to merge these changes back, it is still possible to do this
per application.
Quoth the man-page:
Fifologs provide a compact round-robin circular storage for recording
text and binary information to permanent storage in a bounded and pre-
dictable fashion, time and space wise.
Not yet connected to the build, but feel free to test & review.
