/* */ around the block comment in the header of each file to make
them friendly to cpp. Also added an Id keyword cause I like to
see revision numbers in source.
a.out gas and the binutils gas (elf or a.out) with a single compiler.
This uses other infrastructure not yet committed, in order to support
both a.out and elf it needs to be able to get to both a.out and elf
gas, ld, libs, crt* etc. So for now, the support is pretty much dormant.
The new freebsd.h file is based on the old freebsd-elf.h file (which has a
long lineage, right back through linux and svr4 files). The change is
pretty dramatic from a gcc internals standpoint as it overrides a lot of
definitions in order to generate different output based on target mode.
There is potential for screw-ups, so please be on the lookout - gcc's
configuration mechanism wasn't really meant for this kind of thing.
It's believed to compile world etc just fine under both a.out and elf, can
handle global constructors and destructors, handles the differences in
a.out and elf stabs, and what sections things like exceptions go in.
The initial idea came from i386/osfrose.h which is a dual rose/elf format
target. These two are not as diverse as a.out and elf it would seem.
The cc front-end uses external configuration to determine default object
format (still being thrashed out, so read the source if you want to see
it so far), and has a '-aout' and '-elf' override command line switch.
There are some other internal switches that can be accessed, namely -maout,
-mno-aout, -munderscores and -mnounderscores. The underscore and local
symbol prefixing rules are controllable seperately to the output format.
(ie: it's possible to generate a.out without the _ prefixes on symbols and
also to generate elf with the _ prefixes. This isn't quite optimal, but
does seem to work pretty well, except the linkers don't always recognise
the local symbols without their normal names)
The default format is a.out (still), nobody should see any major changes.
With both elf and a.out tools and libraries installed:
[1:26pm]/tmp-223> cc -elf -o hello hello.c
peter@beast[1:27pm]/tmp-224> file hello
hello: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, not stripped
[1:27pm]/tmp-225> ./hello
hello world!
[1:27pm]/tmp-226> cc -aout -o hello hello.c
[1:27pm]/tmp-227> file hello
hello: FreeBSD/i386 compact demand paged dynamically linked executable not stripped
1:27pm]/tmp-228> ./hello
hello world!
Since my co-conspirators put a lot of effort into this too, I'll add them
so they can share the blame^H^H^H^H^Hglory. :-)

GNU rejected this change because they felt it would be an unacceptable
incompatibility to change the output format at this point -- even
though it was wrong to begin with.
affects speed of doing 'cvs diff' (in all modes) and 'cvs update' over the
network.
1: don't pause at all unless running in server protocol mode.
2: if running in server protocol mode, do a kludge that intercepts the
stdout and stderr write functions and diverts them to cvs_output() and
cvs_outerr(). Yes, this might be done with fwopen() etc, but that also
requires copying "FILE" structs since you can't freopen stdout etc and
specify functions at the same time.
This HACK will go away once the cvs folks have done their changes to the
library version of gnu diff to use the callbacks as mentioned in the
comments.
things fixed in here, including the '-ko' vs. -A problem with
remote cvs which caused all files with -ko to be resent each time
(which is damn painful over a modem, I can tell you). It also found a
heap of stray empty directories that should have been pruned with the -P
flag to cvs update but were not for some reason.
It also has the fully integrated rcs and diff, so no more fork/exec
overheads for rcs,ci,patch,diff,etc. This means that it parses the control
data in the rcs files only once rather than twice or more.
If the 'cvs diff' vs. Index thing is going to be fixed for future patch
compatability, this is the place to do it.

this allows us to do:
cd /usr/src/sys
cvs update -rRELENGE_2_2 -D"Yesterday"
which has been a feature sorely needed for any project with active branches.
warning: this breaks on usr.sbin/pkg_install for some reason.
everything else works as advertised.
(other things allready break on pkg_install, so it's not the fault of
this patch, it just falls faul of another bug somewhere)
If I had more time I'd make -r always accept the same syntax as -j (tag:data)
See freebsd.h and freebsd-elf.h for the silly comment that cgd@netbsd.org
wanted me to add about his claim that uncommented source files that
have been publicly available for ftp for nearly a year; that are
configuration patches to a GPL'ed program; are owned by his previous
employer who refuses to release them. Well... I did as he said. As if
that makes a difference!
At this point we've got cpp, gcc, g++ ported to FreeBSD/Alpha so all
the code that uses __FreeBSD__ is correctly pre-processed. Yay.
I'll commit the bootstrap makefile next to let others play, then on

Change errno -> error in local structure to avoid a clash with the

This needs to go into -2.2 as well, after a suitable burn-in period.
