Don't build the info pages for the old assembler. Instead, build

and install the info pages for the new assembler and linker.

Install the legacy man file in section 1aout.

MACHINE -> MACHINE_ARCH to allow PC98 to define MACHINE=pc98.

Fixed printf format errors.

ELF preparation step 1:

1998-05-25T17:34:42Z

Move our old a.out utils to /usr/libexec/aout. Enable binutils and put the utils in /usr/libexec/elf Enable objformat, a little helper program that calls the right utils based on /etc/objformat and $OBJFORMAT. This will enable the ELF generating tools. Remember that this is only step one, the system is still compiled and run in a.out format ONLY. Problem left to solve: The BSD manpages wins over the GNU equivalents as the are installed last. We need to distinguish between the manpages somehow...

Fix the assembler so that it produces object files with the correct

1998-04-10T01:20:40Z

magic number byte ordering for FreeBSD. This makes "file" describe our object files as "FreeBSD/i386 object" instead of as NetBSD object files. In case this seems drastic and risky, Bruce points out that the "ld -r -x" step that is done on every object file when building libraries fixes the byte ordering in the same way. I have been running with this patch for over a month and have seen no problems.

Fix a bug which clobbered linker set symbols that had forward references.

1998-04-07T17:10:01Z

With -O3, egcs generates such forward references. PR: gnu/6055 Reviewed by: jdp Submitted by: Dmitrij Tejblum in slightly different form

Add support for the AT&T style "fildll" and "fistpll" mnemonics.

1998-03-29T01:38:39Z

These are equivalent to "fildq" and "fistpq" respectively. This fixes the bad floating point object code that resulted after recent changes in the compiler. Test driven by: "Mike Burgett" , Amancio Hasty

Fixed `make -jN' for large N. Just put the generated headers in

1998-03-06T13:13:15Z

${SRCS} instead of giving inadequate explicit dependencies. There is still a problem after `make depend; make clean'. Then `make' barely works, and `make -jN' is confused by absolute paths in .depend.
