Copy head to stable/9 as part of 9.0-RELEASE release cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)

Merge binutils 2.17.50 to head. This brings a number of improvements to
x86 CPU support, better support for powerpc64, some new directives, and
many other things. Bump __FreeBSD_version, and add a note to UPDATING.

Thanks to the many people that have helped to test this.

Lower WARNS to avoid warning about type-punned casting.

Updated Bmake framework for Binutils 2.15.

style.Makefile(5):
Use WARNS?= instead of WARNS=

For this to work properly for all part is the subdirectories
the WARNS assignments in Makefile.inc0 are moved to the correspondning
Makefile.inc.

Removed invasion into these makefiles by the "legacy" stuff;
I have a better fix in the works.

libbinutils.a needs basename(3); when the latter is provided
by -legacy, liblegacy.a should come last in the LDADD list.

Update to Binutils 2.12.0 release.

Turn up WARNS as high as possible.

Tested by: gcc31, gcc32, /usr/bin/cc

Change the way the version strings are handled.

Clean up the formatting.

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

Use `${dir}/libfoo.a' instead of `-L${dir} -lfoo' for local static
libraries in LDADD so that `make checkdpadd' doesn't report non-errors.

Fixed some style bugs (the usual ones for DPADD and LDADD, and misformatting
of $FreeBSD$).

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$

Add missing DPADD's.

BINDIR is now specified in a single place. There are no cross-architecture
issues with this utility.

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.
