Fix typo: s/LIBSERACHPATH/LIBSEARCHPATH/g

Be consistent in quoting.

MAJOR cleanup of the Bmake framework.
This includes removing all vestiges of the old not-really supported
ability to build cross tools targeting non-FreeBSD systems, such as
m68k Lynx and NetBSD. Move as much duplicated code from platform
Makefiles into the shared Makefiles. Add a simple mechanism for
specifying ELF 'ldscripts'. Also share as many .h files as possible
(now a single bfd.h vs. one per platform).

Updated Bmake framework for Binutils 2.15.

Properly quote the lib path.

Stage 3 of dynamic root support, con't.
'ld' should also search /lib for dynamic libraries.

Switch over to the new FreeBSD emulation and bfd vec

Make it easier to change the native emulation.

Tested on: alpha, i386, sparc64

Support linking with -z combreloc (combine and sort reloc sections) and with
--shared -z combreloc (shared library, combine & sort relocs)

Set the SCRIPTDIR to be rooted at TOOLS_PREFIX rather than DESTDIR.
(the two may be different (ie, build vs. runtime))
Allow ldscript's SEARCH_DIR do be rooted somewhere other than `/'.
(in this case at TOOLS_PREFIX)

These changes are most helpful during `make buildworld' so that the shared
libs built in the middle of `make buildworld' are used vs. the ones in
/usr/lib on the build machine.

You know the last revision will work better if the TARGET_TUPLE is set
conditionally....

Allow easier override of the configure tuple, in case you wanted to build
as "powerpc-obrien-freebsd" rahter than "powerpc-unknown-freebsd" for example.

Clean up the formatting.

Our OS name is "freebsd", not "freebsdelf"

`stringify.sed' has been replaced by `astring.sed' [on ANSI-C systems].

Pull the switch and activate our Binutils to a snapshot of the up and
comming 2.10 release.

s/MACHINE_ARCH/TARGET_ARCH/g

The target machine is represented by TARGET_ARCH. MACHINE_ARCH always
represents the host machine. When TARGET_ARCH is not defined, it is
assumed to be equal to MACHINE_ARCH. This means that we're building a
native toolset by default. We're creating cross-compilation tools when
MACHINE_ARCH != TARGET_ARCH.

TARGET_ARCH is defined when building binutils as part of the bootstrap
build and is set to reflect the architecture we're currently cross-
building. With this change binutils is ready for cross-building.

Replace freebsdelf with freebsd in most places.

Requested by: obrien

Use the simplified genscripts.sh and set the cross-compiled library
directory to /usr/cross/${MACHINE_ARCH}-freebsdelf/usr/lib so that
the cross tools behave the same way that the host versions do. When
building cross tools, Cygnus doesn't set the default library directory.
This doesn't suit FreeBSD IMHO.

Add WinNT emulation support too. You only get this if you've set
BINUTILSDISTDIR because the contrib/binutils repository doesn't
contain the required sources.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$

Removed superfluous beforedepends. Their files were already in SRCS.

Add cross-architecture support.

Give up on a.out support in binutils. It has too many problems to
be worth much effort. Install all i386 binutils programs in
"/usr/libexec/elf". Disable a.out support in libbfd. It's too
dangerous to leave it in. Some of the utilities think they can
handle a.out, but they generate bad object files.

Restructure the binutils hierarchy somewhat in order to better
support building it for variant architectures. It was already
becoming clear that the former structure was too rigid and didn't
scale well.

The usual sort of makefile magic arranges to .include an architecture
specific makefile "Makefile.${MACHINE_ARCH}" in each directory
where it exists. Also, sources will be found in each subdirectory
"${MACHINE_ARCH}" that exists. This is all taken care of automatically
by the top level "Makefile.inc0".

This all seems to work right for the i386 now. I have also converted
those alpha pieces already present to the new schema as best I
could.

Also: change the BINDIR on the i386 to /usr/libexec/elf for "ar"
and "ranlib". They are not object format independent enough to
put into /usr/bin.
