the main program, report them directly from the dynamic linker and die
there, rather than returning an error message to crt0.o. This enables
the printing of error messages even for old executables, whose version
of crt0.o is not able to print them.
This fix closes PR bin/1869.
The code in crt0.o for printing error messages from the dynamic linker
is no longer used, because of this change. But it must remain, for
backward compatibility with older dynamic linkers.
. remove the blubber about `submitter-id's from the man page, we don't
use them,
. use REPLY_TO or REPLYTO in preference over LOGNAME as the value for
the Reply-To address (closes PRs 1471 and its duplicates 1472 and 1823),
. don't abuse ~/.signature as ORGANIZATION, this is almost always
useless blunder,
. actually list the Categories again, instead of xrefing to ``see
above'' (closes PR 1835),
. check the Synopsis field for being not empty,
. make the mail Subject the same as Synopsis if left blank (closes
PR 1209).
The remaining open send-pr related PRs (184 and its duplicate 1047,

no point in adding them again. This doesn't fix any bugs; it's just for
efficiency.

libg++'s exception code causes gcc to generate (ahem!) non-conventional
assembler code in -fpic mode that gas and ld choke on. Basically, gas
and ld require than symbols referenced in the GOT (global offset table)
are actually global (as the name implies). It attempted to work around
it before, but didn't quite go far enough to prevent a core dump in ld.
This hack causes GOT referenced symbols to be forced global. This
probably breaks the __EXCEPTION_TABLE__ stuff in pic mode, but heck, it
wasn't even possible to compile with a shared library before at all.
I'm not 100% sure what the bug is. There's two possibilities:
1: gcc/cp/exception.c has to be fixed to stop doing GOT references to
local symbols, or
2: as/ld/symorder/ld.so etc need to be taught about how to keep local
symbols around so that they can be dealt with in GOT references.
John Polstra's elfkit stuff seems to deal with this fine though, which is
why I think it's a "missing feature" in our hacked gas and ld..
since rt_readenv() already takes care of not setting unsafe variables.
This was part of the changes I submitted to Peter and John during the
review which must have gotten missed.
how I managed to get this out of sync, but I did. I guess that's what I
get for directly committing from different machines that I was testing on.

a (now) defunct routine that no longer exists (causing an empty .o file),
and were missing some others. Some of the ones we were missing are no-ops
on the i386, so there are now 4 empty .o files.

configurable fallback search paths, as well as new crt interface version.
Also:
- even faster getenv(), get all environment variable settings in a single
pass.
- ldd printf-like format specifications
- minor code cleanups, one vsprintf -> vsnprintf (harmless)
The library search sequence is a little more complete now. Before,
it'd search $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (by opendir/readdir/closedir), then read
the hints file, then read /usr/lib (again by scanning thr directory). It
would then fail if there was no "found" library.
Now, it does LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the hints file the same, but then uses
a longer fallback path. The -R path is fetched from the executable if
specified at build time, the ldconfig path is appended, and /usr/lib is
appended to that. Duplicates are suppressed. This means that simply
placing a new library in /usr/local/lib will work (the same as it did in
/usr/lib) without needing ldconfig -m. It will find it quicker if the
ldconfig is run though.
Similar changes have been made to the NetBSD ld.so, but ours is rather
different now due to John Polstra's speedups and fixes from a while back.
The ldd printf-like format support came direct from NetBSD.

While here, split up the code a bit more to enable more selective replacing
of GPL'ed components that are linked with ld.so with others.

search 'pattern' in whole file 'file', from top to bottom. This is
not necessary; if grep found 'pattern' it can stop further searching
in file 'file'.
Example:

$ time ./grep-new -q Adam /usr/share/dict/*
