Note this does *not* disable building and installing gcc, which will
still be available as /usr/bin/gcc, /usr/bin/g++ and /usr/bin/gcpp. If
you want to disable gcc completely, you must use WITHOUT_GCC.

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

(1) Silenced the output to stderr.
(2) Added a -v option to f2c and f77. This will turn on a verbose

(3) Updated the f2c man page.

a.out gas and the binutils gas (elf or a.out) with a single compiler.
This uses other infrastructure not yet committed, in order to support
both a.out and elf it needs to be able to get to both a.out and elf
gas, ld, libs, crt* etc. So for now, the support is pretty much dormant.
The new freebsd.h file is based on the old freebsd-elf.h file (which has a
long lineage, right back through linux and svr4 files). The change is
pretty dramatic from a gcc internals standpoint as it overrides a lot of
definitions in order to generate different output based on target mode.
There is potential for screw-ups, so please be on the lookout - gcc's
configuration mechanism wasn't really meant for this kind of thing.
It's believed to compile world etc just fine under both a.out and elf, can
handle global constructors and destructors, handles the differences in
a.out and elf stabs, and what sections things like exceptions go in.
The initial idea came from i386/osfrose.h which is a dual rose/elf format
target. These two are not as diverse as a.out and elf it would seem.
The cc front-end uses external configuration to determine default object
format (still being thrashed out, so read the source if you want to see
it so far), and has a '-aout' and '-elf' override command line switch.
There are some other internal switches that can be accessed, namely -maout,
-mno-aout, -munderscores and -mnounderscores. The underscore and local
symbol prefixing rules are controllable seperately to the output format.
(ie: it's possible to generate a.out without the _ prefixes on symbols and
also to generate elf with the _ prefixes. This isn't quite optimal, but
does seem to work pretty well, except the linkers don't always recognise
the local symbols without their normal names)
The default format is a.out (still), nobody should see any major changes.
With both elf and a.out tools and libraries installed:

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.

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.

no longer link against the whole library, since they don't require much
from it, but just compile the few small modules they actually need static.
This should save a measurable amount of space; compare:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 155648 Sep 18 18:00 cc1*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 1048576 Sep 18 17:33 cc1.noshae*
Of course, the library takes up a bit of space, but when you add in the
savings from the C++ compiler, you more than make up the difference:
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 1157344 Sep 18 18:27 /usr/lib/libcc_int.so.26.0
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 491520 Sep 18 18:27 /usr/libexec/cc1plus*
automagically. -lfoo has to be right to work, but ${LIBFO0} is too
easy to forget or misspell; nothing checks it and it should be
different for shared libraries.
