It appears that make fails to read the global symbol table of the archive file,
making it think that the library needs to be rebuilt.

"Make no longer properly parses archive files, so using archive members
as make targets, as described in PSD:12 section 4.2, does not work."
Really should be merged into 3.3 before we ship if we can..
it's a trivial fix.

This case did not need to be tested when RANLIBMAG was defined
(as when in an `aout' environment) because Arch_StatMember() treated
the two cases of the library not being present and a member of
the library not being present the same way, forcing a rebuild
of the library. Since in the ELF environment we don't look inside
archive libraries we now need to check if the archive library is
present in order to determine its `out-of-date'-ness.
(I hope I've been able to meet the Oct 15th freeze).

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
- Add the .PHONY, .PARALLEL, and .WAIT directives
- Added the -B and -m commandline flags
- misc. man page cleanups
- numerous job-related enhancements
- removed unused header file (bit.h)
- add util.c for functions not found in other envs.
- and a few coordinated whitespace changes
Special thanks to Christos Zoulas <christos@netbsd.org>
for help in the merge. A 'diff -ur' between Net and
FreeBSD now only contains sccsid-related diffs. :)

problems in the process:
1. Quoting should work properly now. In particular, Chet's reported bash
make problem has gone away.
2. A lot of memory that just wasn't being free'd after use is now freed.
This should cause make to take up a LOT less memory when dealing with
archive targets.
3. Give proper credit to Adam de Boor in a number of files.
