To avoid having to explicitly test COMPILER_TYPE for setting clang-specific or gcc-specific flags, introduce the following new variables for use in Makefiles:
CFLAGS.clang CFLAGS.gcc CXXFLAGS.clang CXXFLAGS.gcc
In bsd.sys.mk, these get appended to the regular CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS for the right compiler.

Enable libcompiler-rt on MIPS.
Originally we disabled libcompiler-rt on MIPS and SPARC64, because of an issue where __clzdi2 and __ctzdi2 would cause endless recursion. This bug has been fixed in r230021 already, but for some reason we only switched to libcompiler-rt on SPARC64 -- not MIPS.
This means we can finally use <stdatomic.h> on all our architectures.

Assume a big-endian default on MIPS and drop the "eb" suffix from MACHINE_ARCH. This makes our naming scheme more closely match other systems and the expectations of much third-party software. MIPS builds which are little-endian should require and exhibit no changes. Big-endian TARGET_ARCHes must be changed: From: To: mipseb mips mipsn32eb mipsn32 mips64eb mips64
An entry has been added to UPDATING and some foot-shooting protection (complete with warnings which should become errors in the near future) to the top-level base system Makefile.

Retire TARGET_ABI.
Implement MACHINE_ARCH=mips64e[lb] to build N64 images. This replaces MACHINE_ARCH=mipse[lb] TARGET_ABI=n64.
MACHINE_ARCH=mipsn32e[lb] has been added, but currently requires WITHOUT_CDDL due to atomic issues in libzfs. I've not investigated this much, but implemented this to preserve as much of the TARGET_ABI functionality that I could. Since its presence doesn't affect the working cases, I've kept it in for now.
Added mips64e[lb] to make universe, so more kernels build.
And I think this (finally) closes the curtain on the tbemd tree.

Replace libgcc.a by libcompiler_rt.a.
libcompiler_rt.a is a BSD licensed C language runtime, which implements many routines which are linked into binaries on architectures where certain functionality is missing (e.g. 64 bits mul/div on i386).
Unfortunately, libcompiler_rt cannot replace libgcc entirely. Certain features, such as an unwinder for exception handling, are missing. That's why only libgcc.a is replaced for now, because this one does seem to be complete.

TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN is now completely dead, except where it was originally supposed to be used (internally in the toolchain building).
TARGET_ARCH has changed in three cases: (1) Little endian mips has changed to mipsel. (2) Big endian mips has changed to mipseb. (3) Big endian arm has changed to armeb.
Some additional changes are needed to make 'make universe' work on arm and mips after this change, so those are commented out for now.

Add/improve mips64r2, Octeon, n32 and n64 support in the toolchain.
o) Add TARGET_ABI to the MIPS toolchain build process. This sets the default ABI to one of o32, n32 or n64. If it is not set, o32 is assumed as that is the current default. o) Set the default GCC cpu type to any specified TARGET_CPUTYPE. This is necessary to have a working "cc" if e.g. mips64 is specified, as binutils will refuse to link objects using different ISAs in some cases. o) Add support for n32 and n64 ABIs to binutils and GCC. o) Add additional required libgcc2 stubs for n32 and n64. o) Add support for the "mips64r2" architecture to GCC. Add the "octeon" o) When static linking, wrap default libraries in --start-group and --end-group. This is required for static linking to work on n64 with the interdependencies between libraries there. This is what other OSes that support n64 seem to do, as well. o) Fix our GCC spec to define __mips64 for 64-bit targets, not __mips64__, the former being what libgcc, etc., check and the latter seemingly being a misspelling of a hand merge from a Linux spec. o) When no TARGET_CPUTYPE is specified at build time, make GCC take the default ISA from the ABI. Our old defaults were too liberal and assumed that 64-bit ABIs should default to the MIPS64 ISA and that 32-bit ABIs should default to the MIPS32 ISA, when we are supporting or will support some systems based on earlier 32-bit and 64-bit ISAs, most notably MIPS-III. o) Merge a new opcode file (and support code) from a later version of binutils and add flags and code necessary to support Octeon-specific instructions. This should also make merging opcodes for other modern architectures easier.

Update bmake glue to build GCC 4.2.
Also: Switch FreeBSD to use libgcc_s.so.1.
Use dl_iterate_phdr to locate shared objects' exception frame info instead of depending on older register_frame_info machinery. This allows us to avoid depending on libgcc_s.so.1 in binaries that do not use exception handling directly. As an additional benefit it breaks circular libc <=> libgcc_s.so.1 dependency too.
Build newly added libgomp.so.1 library, the runtime support bits for OpenMP.
Build LGPLed libssp library. Our libc provides our own BSD-licensed SSP callbacks implementation, so this library is only built to benefit applications that have hadcoded knowledge of libssp.so and libssp_nonshared.a. When linked in from command line, these libraries override libc implementation.

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.

Use a different hack for building libgcc2: `XCC= ${CC}' instead of `XCC= <relative cc> -B<path to relative cc1> ...'. This is equivalent when cc and cc1, etc. have just been bootstrapped by `make world'. The relative versions normally won't work if the target system is not binary compatible. Bootstrapping different versions of gcc without going through `make world' is slightly more broken than before.

If you normally do 'make -DNOCLEAN world', do not do so this time, I know it can fail with groff.
This version of gcc makes a **LOT** more warnings on our kernel.

Don't install shared libgcc, we can't do it this way. I will uuencode and check in to a "compat20" area the 2.0-RELEASE version.

Remove a bunch of funtions that are in libc already. Add back the shared libgcc, now that we don't use it to link against.

Don't make the shared libgcc. I don't belive we need the libgcc_pic.a anymore, so I killed that as well.

Integrated GCC-2.6.1 -> GCC-2.6.2 changes.
Notice that the libgcc DOESN'T change number, because there are no changes.
Also now the gnu2bmake stuff is synchronized again.
I commit this so that others can test too.
You might want to postpone any "make worlds" until tomorrow, to avoid any problems I didn't see in the first pass.
Thanks to Bruce for rounding up our changes to gcc.

As pointed out by Paul Traina, we need the libs to be 261.0 not 26.1.

---------------------------------- GCC-2.6.1 COMES TO FREEBSD-current ---------------------------------- Everybody needs to 'make world'.
Oakland, Nov 2nd 1994. In a surprise move this sunny afternoon, the release- engineer for the slightly delayed FreeBSD-2.0, Poul-Henning Kamp (28), decided to pull in the new version 2.6.1 of the GNU C-compiler. The new version of the compiler was release today at noon, and hardly 9 hours later it was committed into the FreeBSD-current source-repository. "It's is simply because we have had too much trouble with the version 2.6.0 of the compiler" Poul-Henning told the FreeBSD-Gazette, "we took a gamble when we decided to use that as our compiler for the 2.0 release, but it seems to pay of in the end now" he concludes. The move has not been discussed on the "core" list at all, and will come as a surprise for most Poul-Hennings peers. "I have only discussed it with Jordan [J. K. Hubbard, the FreeBSD's resident humourist], and we agreed that we needed to do it, so ... I did it!". After a breath he added with a grin: "My email will probably get an all time 'disk-full' now!". This will bring quite a flag-day to the FreeBSD developers, the patch-file is almost 1.4 Megabyte, and they will have to run "make world" to get entirely -current again. "Too bad, but we just had to do this." Was the only comment from Poul-Henning to these problems. When asked how this move would impact the 2.0 release-date, Poul-Hennings face grew dark, he mumbled some very Danish words while he moved his fingers in strange geometrical patterns. Immediately something ecclipsed the Sun, a minor tremor shook the buildings, and the temperature fell significantly. We decided not to pursure the question.
----------- JOB-SECTION ----------- Are you a dedicated GCC-hacker ? We BADLY need somebody to look at the 'freebsd' OS in gcc, sanitize it and carry the patches back to the GNU people. In particular, we need to get out of the "i386-only" spot we are in now. I have the stuff to take a gnu-dist into bmake-form, and will do that part.
