-static to CFLAGS). It just turned rev.1.5 into an obfuscated no-op.
As explained in the log for rev.1.5, testing should be done in the
host environment but there is a problem in cross-compilation environments.
As not explained in the log for rev.1.6, there was apparently a practical
problem with cross-compiling (makeworld should have set -static in
LDFLAGS but apparently didn't). Cross-compilation was especially
complicated because the relevant programs are test programs that were
run at beforeinstall time -- dynamic libraries might or might not exist
depending on the build options. The complications became moot in
rev.1.8 when beforeinstall was renamed "test".
binaries in /bin and /sbin installed in /lib. Only the versioned files
reside in /lib, the .so symlink continues to live /usr/lib so the
toolchain doesn't need to be modified.
under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.

Which only hashes part of a file.
Implement FooFile() in terms of this function.

and SHA-1 when OBJFORMAT is not ELF. Add a warning to the man page
about how SHA-1 uses bswapl, which will trap on 80386es (and the kernel
should, but doesn't currently, emulate).
things like libskey.so to be dynamically self contained.
Things like md5(1) where speed is critical should still link with libmd.a,
but for things like login, where it's a once-off call if skey is used, it's
not worth the hassle.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Also corrected a few minor formatting errors, file location and cross
references in some of the section 3 man pages.
This shuts up a lot of the output from "manck" for section 3.
specified in the top level Makefiles.
Previously I missed dozens of Makefiles that skip the install after
using `cmp -s' to decide that the install isn't necessary.
1. Copyright files looked for in the wrong place
2. cmp was looking in wrong place for test data.
3. Driver for test not linked static, thus dynamic resolution of library
not working.
4. Man page installation not consistent with source.

Imported libmd. This library contains MD2, MD4 and MD5.
These three boggers pop up all over the place all of the time, so I
decided we needed a library with them. In general they are used for
security checks, so if you use them you want to link them static.
