(This is the second try, the first import ignored .info files but not .info-*
files, for some reason. I'm going to make this consistent.)

Without this, compiled programs die with FP errors.
This is originally credited to: jlemon@netcom.com (Jonathan Lemon), and
has been forwarded to me by quite a few of people.
(implemented better, admittedly) with a new option, '-S'. If the
maintainers of traceroute (Van?) add a -S option, we will then be in
conflict.
Also added a too-brief description of the option in the man page. Someone
with a better command of English than I at the moment should probably look
over it and rephrase it.

#include_next <string.h> wasfailing since the /usr/include directory is
first on FreeBSD, and since it was already past it, it failed some of
the tests.
The symptom was an assembler warning
"GOT relocation burb: `___EXCEPTION_TABLE__' should be global"
followed (sometimes) by a core dump. The fix makes the compiler
generate the correct GOTOFF addressing for that symbol, rather than the
GOT addressing it was emitting before.
Warning: There is still at least one serious bug in the i386 exception
code for PIC. The exception code that is generated clobbers the GOT
register (%ebx) and then tries to use it later. That leads to core
dumps at program execution time. I know where the problem is, but I do
not have a fix for it at this time. Until it is fixed, exceptions will
not work in PIC code. This is a general problem for all i386 platforms;
it is not specific to FreeBSD.
I.e., "cvs -H init" went ahead and initialized the repository, and did
not print out a usage message. Not nice.
Also added the "init" command to the list that comes out when you type
"cvs --help-commands". There is still not a word about it in the manual
page.
Yes, I am sending these fixes to the FSF.
since we don't have it yet and I've taken too long on the libg++-2.7.2
stuff (it causes problems due to to the lack of .weak support which I've
nearly finished)

non-i386, non-unix, and generatable files have been trimmed, but can easily
be added in later if needed.
gcc-2.7.2.1 will follow shortly, it's a very small delta to this and it's
handy to have both available for reference for such little cost.
The freebsd-specific changes will then be committed, and once the dust has
settled, the bmakefiles will be committed to use this code.
