- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:

- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

libraries had not had their versions bumped relative to 6.3-REL but
had indeed been changed. We need to bump their version so they can be
properly added to the compat6x port:
libasn1.so.8 libgssapi.so.8 libhdb.so.8 libkadm5clnt.so.8
libkadm5srv.so.8 libkafs5.so.8 libkrb5.so.8 libobjc.so.2

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.

library. As the value suggests, this allows the library to be built repeatably;
without this flag, gcc uses a random value in its parsing.
Since the random seed is only used when handling files which do not have any
externally-visible symbols, this change is not needed for any other libraries
in the FreeBSD base system.

like [X-Y] should match all characters between X-Y according to the
locale's collating order, not by binary value. For now, this only fixes
the !MBS_SUPPORT case (which is the default).
The GCC developers separated out the configure header between libU77 and
libI77 and FreeBSD didn't keep up with the change. So now this header needs
to be a superset of both sublib's configuration specification.
Notably this commit causes ftruncate(), fseeko(), and ftello() to be used.

shared library being built for amd64. The problem is that libstdc++.so
is produced with 'cc -shared'. This has an internal -lgcc, which is
not PIC. libstdc++.so uses exceptions and the dwarf2 unwinder, which
are in libgcc.a. As a result, non-PIC code gets pulled into libstdc++.so.
This is fatal on amd64 when certain relocation types cannot be used in
PIC mode. The official FSF solution to this is to have libgcc.so with
internal ELF symbol versioning to solve the ABI problem, but I dont want
to fight that battle yet. I tried making libgcc_pic.a (which worked
fine), but thats not something for the 11th hour before a release.

shared object of libobjc, we end up linking in from the archive
version. This is wrong, because we don't compile the archive version
suitable for inclusion in shared objects. On ia64 this causes actual
breakages. Compile the archive version with PIC on ia64 to avoid
the breakage there and also to avoid changing the status quo on
other architectures. If other architectures have the same problem,
we probably should start building a shared library. There's no
indication however that other architectures actually need it.
Building the archive version with PIC on ia64 does pessimize linking
complete binaries (ie fully archive), but we don't use Objective-C
ourselves and so far I haven't seen non-shared executables written
in Objective-C, so I'm sure this will be nothing but academic.

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.
