FreeBSD. This method attempts to centralize all the necessary hacks
or work arounds in one of two places in the tree (src/Makefile.inc1
and src/tools/build). We build a small compatibility library
(libbuild.a) as well as selectively installing necessary include
files. We then include this directory when building host binaries.
This removes all the past release compatibilty hacks from various
places in the tree. We still build on tip of stable and current. I
will work with those that want to support more, although I anticipate
it will just work.
Many thanks to ru@, obrien@ and jhb@ for providing valuable input at
various stage of implementation, as well as for working together to
positively effect a change for the better.
than piping thru tr(1). Also prefer case over for+test, as case will
handle regex's nicely.
Note we can't exactly follow the real 2.13 genscripts.sh as we wind up with
multiple "'s in search paths. It is too late tonight to track down why.
Rev 1.2 changed the default emulation from ``elf64_sparc'' to ``elf32_sparc''
and I never noticed it after my review of rev 1.1. Backing the change of
the default emulation out, and Wa-la!, I can now build a native [and usable]
binutils. WTF, the "-m elf64_sparc" parameter handed to `ld' by `gcc'
wasn't DTRT is beyond me.
(the two may be different (ie, build vs. runtime))
Allow ldscript's SEARCH_DIR do be rooted somewhere other than `/'.
(in this case at TOOLS_PREFIX)
These changes are most helpful during `make buildworld' so that the shared
libs built in the middle of `make buildworld' are used vs. the ones in
/usr/lib on the build machine.

With this patch the 4.2-RELEASE box was able to survive

libraries in LDADD so that `make checkdpadd' doesn't report non-errors.
Fixed some style bugs (the usual ones for DPADD and LDADD, and misformatting
of $FreeBSD$).
The target machine is represented by TARGET_ARCH. MACHINE_ARCH always
represents the host machine. When TARGET_ARCH is not defined, it is
assumed to be equal to MACHINE_ARCH. This means that we're building a
native toolset by default. We're creating cross-compilation tools when
MACHINE_ARCH != TARGET_ARCH.
TARGET_ARCH is defined when building binutils as part of the bootstrap
build and is set to reflect the architecture we're currently cross-
building. With this change binutils is ready for cross-building.
