Changes to support the kernel linker:

1997-05-13T10:23:47+00:00

	Add a -Bforcedynamic option which generates a dynamic object even
	if no shared libraries were given in the link.

	Make RRS in text section warnings conditional on "-assert pure-text"
	so that I can link non-PIC kernel modules without tons of link
	errors.  Changes to bsd.lib.mk to follow.

	Fix a couple of bugs exposed by the fact that the kernel is not
	linked at zero.

Don't complain about no input files for `ld -f'. This fixes spurious

(ignored :-() errors for `make depend' in /sys/i386/boot/*.  It's
natural for there to be no libraries there and inconvenient to check
for this in bsd.prog.mk.

dependency on `bar' is very unlikely to be correct.

This is a quick fix for broken dependencies in gdb and many other
places.  The dependencies on internal libraries are now missing
instead of wrong when `make depend' is run before the libraries
are created.

Fix a bug involving alias (N_INDR) symbols. When building a shared

1997-02-01T20:28:38+00:00

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.
