This is currently an opt-in build flag. Once ASLR support is ready and stable
it should changed to opt-out and be enabled by default along with ASLR.
Each application Makefile uses opt-out to ensure that ASLR will be enabled by
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.

Beyond changes to the build system, this includes fixing up the sample
freebsd.mc configuration for changes in defaults and syntax, removing
outdated documentation, and updating the release notes.
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.

/usr/src/bin. Note that some patches are still needed in that directory.
I (Joerg) finished most of Philippe's cleanup. /bin/sh will still
need *allot* of work, however.

of queuing mails only can be restored by uncommenting a CFLAGS+= line
in the makefile, so sites that _really_ need this (perhaps some huge
mail hubs) can still have it. The majority of FreeBSD boxes is better
served with an immediate delivery (and last time i've been asking on
the list, nobody complained).
