of binutils. For all architectures and object file formats,
".p2align n" aligns to the next multiple of 2**n. Thus for FreeBSD,
it does exactly the same thing as the traditional ".align".
The old ".align" directive has different meanings in different
object formats, and even in different variants of a.out. Sometimes
is aligns to a multiple of n, and other times it aligns to a multiple
of 2**n. ".p2align" is preferable for use in assembly language
sources, since it makes them more portable to object formats other
than a.out.
Strong 2.2 and 2.1.x candidate. Someone should review the patch before,
however.
The maintainer of the Perl5 port should probably introduce a similar patch
there.

diagnostic about wrong directory, fix it by resetting back
to old name after chdir failed.
Add \r as alias to \n, some telnets have problem with that.
Should go into 2.2

"%%st" to fix the new gdb ...
Don't use the private version of strerror() either.
Use INTERNALLIB and INTERNALSTATICLIB instead of a private install
rules NOPROFILE and NOPIC. This is only slightly cleaner.
INTERNALLIB was previously only used in compatibility libraries
(libgnumalloc etc.) and INTERNALSTATICLIB was previously unused.
INTERNAL*LIB probably should be replaced by something like NOSTATICO
together with NO{STATICO,PROFILE,PIC}INSTALL.
controlling terminal is closed. Now the function ask() will return 1 when th
input is known to come from a file or terminal, or it will return 0 when ther
was a read error.
Modified the question "Skip patch?" so that on an error from ask it will skip
the patch instead of looping.

2.2 candidate
library with a shared object dependency that contained alias symbols,
the linker incorrectly counted the number of symbols that would be
written, resulting in a fatal internal error. Since our libc now
contains some alias symbols (in "net/res_stubs.c"), this was
sufficient to tickle the bug: "ld -Bshareable foo.so -lc". To
fix it, I moved the accounting of alias symbols to a later point
in the processing, where it is possible to count only those symbols
that will actually be written to the output file.
This fix is well-confined to affect alias symbols only. I have
tested it with a full "make world". I am going to merge it into
-2.2 after a few more days of living with it in -current.
If it is set to a nonempty string, then simply skip any missing
shared libraries. This came up in a discussion long ago as a
potentially useful feature at sysinstall time. For example, an
X11 utility could be used without the X libraries being present,
provided the utility had a mode in which no X functions were actually
called.
it DTRT. In the process, discover the usual 10-15 evil bogons which
have been lurking in it for years. This closes, for one thing, the
recent report Mike Smith made about nested checklist menus returning
with the scrolling region messed up.
