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.
Tested on: i386 (extensively), alpha
If somebody wanted to, this could for the beginning of a "libkernel"
which could be used to run kernel code in userland.

(I skipped those in contrib/, gnu/ and crypto/)
While I was at it, fixed a lot more found by ispell that I
could identify with certainty to be errors. All of these
were in comments or text, not in actual code.

behavior. Add the bcb regression test which checks for failures due
to a backslash ('\') coinciding with the very last character of the
command buffer. The regression test is cf. this PR (which I did not
know about) and has a different fix for the bug.

handle printing of the PASS/FAIL messages. Suffix PASS/FAIL/FATAL with the
string (in $directory) where $directory is ${.CURDIR} from make(1), to
make it easier to use grep(1) and a bit of sed/awk to do statistics of
failure for some utilities over time, etc.
make(1): Does not work like the other tests. Its Makefile is
self-testing.
m4(1): It uses complex voodo to test GNU m4(1) features.
To the new framework. I had worried about passing the binary data that
uudecode(1)'s test passes to diff(1) might give a user something nasty,
but this is unlikely to happen as even with an unmodified old nasty
diff(1) which doesn't recognise many binary files, these binary files
are recognised. Using $DIFF instead of `diff' in the library and making
it possible to override this with `cmp -s' might be nice some day, but
as of this second, there's no immediate need.
to handle the ones which output to stdout and have output in regress.$test.out,
etc. More freeform macros should and will be written, but these are the most
prominent and most straightforward sort of tests we have around, so it makes
sense to try to accomodate them.
expansion of embedded variables in the left-hand-side of an assignment
expression, using the simplest case - hiding recursion using nil-expanded
variables.
uuencode(1), and set a umask, so that the mode in the header is predictable.
If it varies, then the test is right to fail.
Remove the note about this test falsely failing, with that in mind.
