ed0cfa6ecc Bah. Kris says the default-to-a.out knowledge has migrated into the
official gnu configure scripts and a couple of other places.

Add an example noisy, loud and annoying placeholder for /usr/bin/objformat
if it turns out to too much trouble to be gone.  It is not connected to
the build yet.

66422f5b7a Initiate deorbit burn for the i386-only a.out related support. Moves are
under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports.  As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL.  It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.

Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.

Tested on: i386 (extensively), alpha

91bd71d206 Remove leaf node WARNS?=2 (that mainly I added). This should
help the GCC3 transition and CURRENT in general.

9e5900ee43 Since we build and install gasp(1) in /usr/libexec/${OBJFORMAT}/,
and it is a user-run utility, it should be in objformat, so gasp
is in the ${PATH} :)

eca7742c3c Link objformat statically by default. This makes it possible to
build 2.2-stable worlds on 3.0-current systems again.  objformat
calls getobjformat(), which doesn't exist in 2.2's libc.
Technically there should have been a version number bump when it was
added in -current.  But it's used in so few places that it hardly
seems worth that.  Besides, the objformat program is very heavily
used during a make world; it won't hurt to have it load a little
faster.

5c21e13f1a Add manpage for objformat. This needs major word smithing. 1998-10-25 13:25:42 +00:00

778a593eb2 Remove most of the code and replace it with a call to getobjformat(). 1998-10-21 15:13:16 +00:00

d6e03c9b6d Add objformat links for gdb and (while we're at it) c++filt.
This means we can (assuming an a.out gdb is present) debug a.out kernels
and crashdumps with gdb -aout.

e936391783 Add links to addr2line, objcopy, and objdump. These exist only for
ELF, but still I think this is the best way to get them into the
shell's search path.

a89fd81d2b The selection of a default object format is based on OBJFORMAT, not
BINFORMAT.

e27b6961ff Convert to more canonical format.. It seems that both Soren and I were
working on this in parallel.. :-(

dfd93f4d1d Compile & use objformat as it was intended to, I have no idea why
that failed for me before :(

cabb97dcbf ELF preparation step 2:
Move a.out libraries to /usr/lib/aout to make space for ELF libs.
Make rtld usr /usr/lib/aout as default library path.
Make ldconfig reject /usr/lib as an a.out library path.
Fix various Makefiles for LIBDIR!=/usr/lib breakage.

This will after a make world & reboot give a system that no
longer uses /usr/lib/*, infact one could remove all the old
libraries there, they are not used anymore.

We are getting close to an ELF make world, but I'll let this
all settle for a week or two...
