now, DO_COMPRESS. This controls whether or not catpages are compressed or
not (on by default, since little else uses the catpages and those few things
that do can always configure in a `zmore' in place of more or something, and
saving space is more important, IMHO).
Uncompression support is now on by default since that's the only way to support
mixed-mode environments. If you don't like it, just don't compress your man
pages and it won't be used! :-). Supports gzip. You can also compress
the man pages themselves (or gzip them) now and it will work.
late stage due to the fact that link.h was copyright Sun Microsystems.
This version of ld sync's us up with NetBSD's ld and supports compatablily
with NetBSD's -[zZ] flags (which we had reversed). Compiling with this
new ld will give you RRS warnings for libraries which do not contain .type
infomation - these wsarnings are harmless and will go away as soon as you
recompile your libraries (cd /usr/src; make libraries).

This is not in cpio man page. Someone please add it.
patch file had absolute pathnames in it and went and patched /usr/src directly
(first time this has happened, I'll watch for it now), so I thought I might
as well just commit it and clean up the .orig files and whatnot left behind.
Sorry - this is the first time this has happened to me. Very confusing.
These files aren't really necessary to us, but should be kept in sync anyway.

You write that
LDFLAGS+= -Xlinker -Bstatic
no more needed, but you have
CFLAGS += -static -I$(.CURDIR) -I$(.CURDIR)/$(MACHINE)
This -static doesn't make any sense in your version,
because it not passed to linker's state (LDFLAGS),
so we have SHARED /usr/bin/ld in this case.
(Older Makefile produce non-shared ld).
I suppose, that -static in CFLAGS was introduced to
make non-shared ld, so I restore previous LDFLAGS
to have non-shared ld. If we want to have shared ld
we need to remove -static from CFLAGS too, not only LDFLAGS,
but this need special issue and corresponding
commit log. Your current version hang into intermediate
state (beetween two sides), so I move it to one side.
Second, I restore NOPIC dependance again from older Makefile:
.if !defined(NOPIC)
SUBDIR+= rtld
.endif
We don't need ld.so, if NOPIC
P.S. I don't see any purpose to commit new makefile, old version
is better.
