binaries for the fixit floppy bin/ed/main.c causes a gcc warning
message about argc possibly being clobbered by longjmp or vfork.
We have threatened to ditch floppies for 8.0 but I don't want to
do quite that much rototilling yet so for now turn off -Werror while
building ed (and everything else) for the fixit floppy.
Thanks to jb for pointing out NO_WERROR.

Note that this is only from the install media, not the installed
system where the symbols are still installed, if part of the release.
Should anybody want the symbols which match disc1/livecd, they can
just be extracted from the kernel distribution files.

it possible to e.g. distribute kernels with config names larger
than eight symbols, without the clash. Previousy, LALALALA
and LALALALA-SMP would be the same tarball. (I think this
comes from the old days where tarballs were put on the MS-DOS
formatted diskettes.)

pass the "-empty" flag to find(1). This change has no effect other
than to get rid of a few pages of "rmdir: ...: Directory not empty"
error messages. (Note that the "-empty" flag has been supported by
find(1) since 4.3-RELEASE.)
we might get surprises later, like /dev/null having error in the 4th line
reported by make(1). :-)
Tested by: Dmitriy Kirhlarov (who attempted to make release in a jail)
at runtime and to support distributing additional kernels:
o remove kernel from the base tarball
o add new kernel tarballs
o build + package both SMP and GENERIC kernels when an <arch>/conf/SMP
config file is present
o add sysinstall support for multiple kernels
o update sysinstall to probe for the number of cpus on a system
and auto-select smp/up kernel accordingly
o add a post-kernels install hook to fixup /boot/kernel
o add -ldevinfo to boot crunch for sysinstall's cpu probing logic
Notes:
1. On HEAD this code is not currently used because GENERIC kernels
include SMP. This work is mainly intended for RELENG_6 where the
GENERIC kernel is UP. If HEAD changes to match then just enable
WITH_SMP in sysinstall/Makefile.
2. The cpu probing support is done with acpi and MPTable; this means
some systems will require work for auto-detection to work.
3. The handling of /boot/kernel may need to be revisited; for now
we rename one kernel at the last moment (SMP if installed, otherwise
GENERIC). There are other, possibly better, approaches.
Lots of help from ru, emaste, scottl, and jhb.

Try to make everyone happy: David (to have debug kernels installed
by default), Warner (to be able to override that), and myself (for
actually making it all work and to be consistent).
Now, if kernel was configured for debugging (through DEBUG=-g in
the kernel config file or "config -g"), doing "make install" will
install debug versions of kernel and module objects with their
canonical names,
kernel.debug -> /boot/kernel/kernel
if_fxp.ko.debug -> /boot/kernel/if_fxp.ko
Installing a kernel not configured for debugging, or debug kernel
with INSTALL_NODEBUG variable defined, will install non-debug
kernel and module objects.
Also, restore the install.debug and reinstall.debug targets that
are part of the existing API (they cause some additional gdb(1)
scripts to be installed).
This involves having passwd bits available so that seteuid("_dhcp") work,
and creating /var/empty so that chroot(_VAR_EMPTY) works. My gut feeling
is that the better solution is to make privsep and chroot optional in
dhclient, but this works well for now and is low-risk.

- When a separate livefs ISO is used, change the name of the tree directory
to be R/cdrom/livefs and change the name of the iso to livefs.iso rather
than using disc2. Instead, disc2 is now always going to be the packages
disc regardless of the presence of a separate livefs which makes things
simpler.
- Build a very simple disc2 tree under R/cdrom that just includes the
cdrom.inf file that the packages need. Also, build a disc2.iso image
in the iso.1 target. Disc 2's volume label is "FreeBSD_Packages".
- Retire CD_EXTRA_BITS and replace it with CD_PACKAGE_TREE. CD_EXTRA_BITS
was specific to disc1, but CD_PACKAGE_TREE instead should point to a
directory that has disc1 and disc2 subdirectories that contain the extra
bits for each image.
- Rename the bootonly volume label to "FreeBSD_bootonly" and just hardcode
the disc1 and livefs volume names and iso suffixes.
