Align text correctly by using tabs instead of spaces.

2017-05-27T20:01:50+00:00

The text was copy-pasted from the lines that carry the bogus spaces.
This is a non-functional change.

Bring some rough support for FreeBSD S/390 to the GNU toolchain.

2017-05-23T16:38:10+00:00

This is no-op and only for reference: the S/390 port seems to be elusive
in the BSDs so it is convenient to keep some trace from past efforts.
It is likely newer attempts will focus on a newer toolchain using clang
instead.

use INT3 instead of NOP for x86 binary padding

2017-03-19T00:22:13+00:00

We should never end up executing the inter-function padding, so we
are better off faulting than silently carrying on to whatever function
happens to be next.

Note that LLD will soon do this by default (although it currently pads
with zeros).

Fix ldscripts such that ld(1) collects the .fini_array section in the same

order as the .init_array section.  Finalisation routines need to be called
in the opposite order as their corresponding initialisation routines but
rtld(1) handles that by calling the function pointers in .fini_array in
reverse order.
