The binary a.out version of ld.so can be obtained from misc/compat22 or
src/lib/compat/compat22.

is making installing the world under jail(8) possible by
using another knob, NOFSCHG.

This clears the way for the ELF dynamic linker man page, which I
will commit next.

from the gpl ld code.  This is part 2 of something that I began in 1996.
A repository copy has happened behind cvs's back.

things so that it uses the same malloc as is used by the program
being executed.  This has several advantages, the big one being
that you can now debug core dumps from dynamically linked programs
and get useful information out of them.  Until now, that didn't
work.  The internal malloc package placed the tables describing
the loaded shared libraries in a mapped region of high memory that
was not written to core files.  Thus the debugger had no way of
determining what was loaded where in memory.  Now that the dynamic
linker uses the application's malloc package (normally, but not
necessarily, the system malloc), its tables end up in the regular
heap area where they will be included in core dumps.  The debugger
now works very well indeed, thank you very much.

Also ...

Bring the program a little closer to conformance with style(9).
There is still a long way to go.

Add minimal const correctness changes to get rid of compiler warnings
caused by the recent const changes in <dlfcn.h> and <link.h>.

Improve performance by eliminating redundant calculations of symbols'
hash values.

ld-specific flags.  LDFLAGS is really for ld-related flags for cc,
not for ld, and some flags, e.g., -Bshareable, mean completely
different things to cc and ld.  Having the wrong things in LDFLAGS
also broke the standard ${PROG} target.  This was kludged around
by using a special rule that depended on LDFLAGS being bogus.
Fixing `make depend' broke the special rule but fixed the standard
rule (except in the DESTDIR case, which was handled more strictly
here than elsewhere).
