As of r295661 elfcopy supports PE format for EFI boot binaries and is a
viable objcopy implementation for the base system and ports.
The (temporary) src.conf knob WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY knob may be set

Change 294329 removed the ability to build ZFS pools that are backed by
zvols, because having that ability (even if it's not used) leads to
deadlocks. By popular demand, I'm adding an off-by-default sysctl to
reenable that ability.

pxeboot in tftp loader mode (when built with LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT) now
prefix all the path to open with the path obtained via the option 'root-path'
directive.
This allows to be able to use the traditional content /boot out of box. Meaning
it now works pretty much like all other loaders. It simplifies hosting hosting
multiple version of FreeBSD on a tftp server.
As a consequence, pxeboot does not look anymore for a pxeboot.4th (which was
never provided)
Note: that pxeboot in tftp loader mode is not built by default.

Debug data files are now built by default with 'make buildworld' and
installed with 'make installworld'. This facilitates debugging but
requires more disk space both during the build and for the installed
world. Debug files may be disabled by setting WITHOUT_DEBUG_FILES=yes
in src.conf(5).

Say it with me, "I will not chain commands with && in Makefiles"
This was originally fixed and explained quite well by bde@ in r36074. The
initial bmake integration caused 'set -e' to stop being used which lead to
r252419. Later 'set -e' expectations were fixed with bmake in r254980.
Because of the && here, errors would be ignored when building in parallel and
a dependency failed. Such as bootstrap-tools since it builds everything in
parallel. If any tool failed in obj/depend/all, it would just ignore the error
and continue to build. This later would result in cascaded errors that only
confused the real issue. This could also cause commands after the failed
command to still execute, leading to more confusion.
This should be fine if the command is in a sub-shell such as: (cmd1 && cmd2)
This reverts r252419.

inconsistency when installing new locales and may also result in failures
when reinstalling after having run make delete-old (due to previous
inconsistencies) for now recommand removing all locales until install(1) is
fixed
Bmake has a documented feature of '-N' to skip executing commands which is
specifically intended for debugging top-level builds and not recursing into
sub-directories. This matches the older 'make -n' behavior we added which made
'-n -n' the recursing target and '-n' a non-recursing target.
Removing the '-n -n' feature allows the build to work as documented in
the bmake manpage with '-n' and '-N'. The older '-n -n' feature was also
not documented anywhere that I could see.
Note that the ${_+_} var is still needed as currently bmake incorrectly
executes '+' commands when '-N' is specified.
The '-n' and '-n -n' features were broken for several reasons prior to this.
r251748 made '_+_' never expand with '-n -n' which resulted in many
sub-directories not being visited until fixed 2 years later in r288391, and
many targets were given .MAKE over the past few years which resulted in
non-sub-make commands, such as rm and ln and mtree, to be executed.
This should also allow removing some indirection hacks in bsd.subdir.mk and
other cases of .USE that have a .MAKE by using '+'.

target. This is the feeder for mergemaster / etcupdate. This change
makes installworld/mergemaster/etcupdate behave the same regardless of
whether SENDMAIL_MC or SENDMAIL_CF is used.
If you use a custom SENDMAIL_MC/CF in make.conf and excluded it from
mergemaster.rc/etcupdate.conf to work around the conflicts, you may wish
to revert that or change it from 'ignore' to 'always install'.
If you do not use a custom SENDMAIL_MC/CF, there should be no change in
behavior.
This avoids needing a large boot partition / file system in order to
accommodate multiple kernels, and provides consistency with userland
debug. This also simplifies the process of moving kernel debug files
to a separate package and installing them on demand.
In addition, change kernel debug file extension to .debug, to match
userland debug files.
When using the supported kernel installation method the
/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel directory will be renamed (to kernel.old)
as is done with /boot/kernel.
Developers wishing to maintain the historical behavior of installing
debug files in /boot/kernel/ can set KERN_DEBUGDIR="" in src.conf(5).

It's also a fairly large amount of complex code, so just remove the support
