generated from lib/csu/common/crtbrand.c (which ultimately ends up in
executables and shared libraries, via crt1.o, gcrt1.o or Scrt1.o).
For all arches except sparc, gcc emits the section directive for the
abitag struct in crtbrand.c with a PROGBITS type. However, newer
versions of binutils (after 2.16.90) require the section to be of NOTE
type, to guarantee that the .note.ABI-tag section correctly ends up in
the first page of the final executable.
Unfortunately, there is no clean way to tell gcc to use another section
type, so crtbrand.c (or the C files that include it) must be compiled in
multiple steps:
- Compile the .c file to a .s file.
- Edit the .s file to change the 'progbits' type to 'note', for the section
directive that defines the .note.ABI-tag section.
- Compile the .s file to an object file.
These steps are done in the invididual Makefiles for each applicable arch.

section alignnment of 16 bytes for amd64 and this breaks file(1).
Before:
./cp: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), for \
FreeBSD 127.7.9, statically linked, stripped
after: ^^^^^^^
./ls: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), for \
FreeBSD 5.0.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
The reason for this is that the NOTE sections are not contiguous
internally. If the note section has an alignment of 16, then anything
that looks for the data is supposed to round up the payload start to
the next multiple of the alignment. But FreeBSD/amd64 broke because the
structure is declared as a single structure, not a (header,payload) group,
where the payload had an explicit alignment roundup.
The alternative is to change things like file(1) to ignore the ELF payload
alignment rules for the PT_NOTE section only for FreeBSD.
when using the egcs and gcc-devel ports, along with GCC built from stock
public FSF sources. With out this change, FreeBSD will be removed from
the list of systems GCC 3.0 must be evaluated on before release. With
the effort some of us put into getting FreeBSD on this list, we should
not turn this effort into a waste, else we might not be worth fighting
for in the future. (note that Alpha and IA-64 versions of crt{i,n}.S
are needed)
* Switch from our own crt{begin,in} to those created from GCC's crtstuff.c.
This will allow us to switch to DWARF2 exceptions in the future, along with
staying in sync with any future GCC requirements.
* Break out our ELF branding bits into a seperate file. Currently this
is now included by our crt1.c files (since this functionality was part of
our native crtbegin.c). Later crtbrand.o will be merged in the creation
of crti.o.
various architectures. Now all the work is done in crtbegin.c.
It doesn't contain any assembly language code, so it should work
fine on all architectures. (I have tested it on the i386 and the
alpha.) The old assembly language files crt[in].S are now empty
shells that generate no code or data. They should not be removed
any time soon, because the various versions of gcc in src and ports
expect them to exist.
Next I will move crtbegin.c into a new common machine-independent
directory, and adjust the i386-elf Makefile to use that version.
After that I will adjust the alpha Makefile to use the common
version too.

shared library when invoking global constructors and destructors.
For constructors, the object files used to be processed from first
to last; now they're done from last to first. (Destructors are done
in the opposite order, as required by the C++ standard.) This makes
us consistent with standard gcc and egcs compilers. It also
eliminates ordering differences between dynamic and static
executables.
Bump the value of __FreeBSD_version to 400002 to reflect this
change.
C function so the compiler won't try to emit line numbers for it
with "-g", breaking the build. This has the nice side-effect of
making crtbegin.o and crtbeginS.o a little bit smaller.
Remove "-Wno-unused" from the Makefile. Replace it with "__unused"
on particular function and variable declarations.
