remained turned off. Tests have shown that the feature is stable and
working so we can now turn it on again.

- de_DE.ISO8859-1
- el_GR.ISO8859-7 (by manolis@ and keramida@)
- es_ES.ISO8859-1 (kern/123179, by carvay@)

- hu_HU.ISO8859-2 (by gabor@)
- it_IT.ISO8859-15
- nl_NL.ISO8859-1 (corrections by rene@)
- no_NO.ISO8859-1
- mn_MN.UTF-8 (by ganbold@)
- sk_SK.ISO8859-2
- sv_SE.ISO8859-1
(The catalogs without explicit source has been obtained from NetBSD.)

you can build the cross development tools and install them as
$XDEV-freebsd-xxx for each tool. This allows one to use autoconf to
find the tools for cross building scenarios.
make KERNFAST=blah buildkernel
is now a short cut for
make KERNCONF=blah -DKERNFAST buildkernel
This change works for all kernel config files not named "1". I did
that to make sure that
make -DKERNFAST buildkernel
remains the same as
make -DKERNFAST KERNCONF=GENERIC buildkernel
rather than trying to build and configure "1". I've never seen a
kernel config file named "1," so I think this is a good compromise.
and clean steps. KERNFAST was selected to complement KERNCONF which
is typically used in these scenarios (especially with cross building).

32-bit compat libs on amd64 since -march=k8 may generate instructions
that are not implemented on Intel EM64T processors. Instead, use
a simpler set of default flags that should work on all amd64-capable
CPUs.

Specifically, build a 32-bit /usr/bin/ldd32 on amd64 which handles 32-bit
objects. Since it is a 32-bit binary, it can fork a child process which
can dlopen() a 32-bit shared library. The current 32-bit support in ldd
can't do this because it does the dlopen() from a 64-bit process. In order
to preserve an intuitive interface for users, the ldd binary automatically
execs /usr/bin/ldd32 for 32-bit objects. The end result is that ldd on
amd64 now transparently handles 32-bit shared libraries in addition to
32-bit binaries.

- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

WITH_BSDAR is gone. Option _WITH_GNUAR to aid in upgrades is *not*
supposed to be set by the user.
Stop bootstrapping BSD ar(1) on the next __FreeBSD_version bump, as
there are no known bugs in it. Bump __FreeBSD_version to anticipate
this and to flag the switch to BSD ar(1), should it be needed for
something.

through scanning its output as ldd(1) returns a non-zero status only
for really abnormal conditions such as an improper file format.
Now cp(1) won't get bogus "not" and "found" arguments if a lib
is missing. [1]
- Don't guess if an element of a complex pipeline is assigned to the main
shell or a sub-shell. Namely use stdio, not vars, to pass lists out from
loops. If using vars, there's the risk that a loop will run in a sub-shell
and the list won't make it to the main shell. It appears that braces and
parens give only limited control over the issue while stdio always works
as intended. Apply this solution to both $progs and $libs for consistency,
although I've failed to go without it only in the $libs part.

I.e., not only copy them to a scratch dir, but also make them use saved
copies of libraries and locale files. That gives us several benefits:
1) ABI breakages should no longer affect installworld over the live system.
2) It becomes safe to run installworld while still running the old kernel.
However, it can be reasonable to save the old /rescue before that to be
able to run the old reboot(8), as the new binaries are rather likely to
fail with the old kernel. Anyhow, it's now possible to upgrade a system
in a single reboot _reliably_.
3) With a bit of hackery around rtld(8), it becomes possible to do destructive
cross-installs, e.g., i386->amd64 over the live system.
The only shared item left between the old and new systems is rtld(8),
which cannot be run from a saved copy easily because its full
pathname is stored in the respective field of each ELF executable.
(In theory, that field could be overridden, e.g., from the environment,
but this can lead to security issues.) That's why a destructive
cross-install isn't possible w/o hackery yet.

logic in makefiles that need to check if the pthreads
support is present. It also fixes a bug where we would
build a threading library that we shouldn't have built:
for example, building with WITHOUT_LIBTHR and the default
value of DEFAULT_THREADING_LIB (libthr) would mistakenly
build the libthr library, but not install it.

libc needs to be built before any other shared library that might depend
on it. Add necessary glue to make that happen.
