Retire obsolete GDB 6.1.1

2020-12-15T17:44:19+00:00

GDB 6.1.1 was released in June 2004 and is long obsolete. It does not
support all of the architectures that FreeBSD does, and imposes
limitations on the FreeBSD kernel build, such as the continued use of
DWARF2 debugging information.

It was kept (in /usr/libexec/) only for use by crashinfo(8), which
extracts some basic information from a kernel core dump after a crash.
Crashinfo already prefers gdb from port/package if installed.

Future work may add kernel debug support to LLDB or find another path
for crashinfo's needs, but in any case we do not want to ship the
excessively outdated GDB in FreeBSD 13.

These are no longer needed after the recent 'beforebuild: depend' changes
and hooking DIRDEPS_BUILD into a subset of FAST_DEPEND which supports
skipping 'make depend'.

Add META_MODE support.

2015-06-13T19:20:56+00:00

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.

Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.
