Retire obsolete GDB 6.1.1

2020-12-15T17:44:19Z

GDB 6.1.1 was released in June 2004 and is long obsolete. It does not support all of the architectures that FreeBSD does, and imposes limitations on the FreeBSD kernel build, such as the continued use of DWARF2 debugging information. It was kept (in /usr/libexec/) only for use by crashinfo(8), which extracts some basic information from a kernel core dump after a crash. Crashinfo already prefers gdb from port/package if installed. Future work may add kernel debug support to LLDB or find another path for crashinfo's needs, but in any case we do not want to ship the excessively outdated GDB in FreeBSD 13.

Disable sbrk() use in GNU tools.

2018-09-21T17:44:05Z

We're studing the possibility of deprecating sbrk(). To make it easier we're removing unnecessicary uses in the base system. None of these tools require sbrk(), but they agressively prefer it for no good reason.

Off by default, build behaves normally. WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to start build from anywhere in the tree. Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages. Differential Revision: D2796 Reviewed by: brooks imp
