There is important information about booting non-ack images in
docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and
booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the
new boot monitor is recommended.
Changes in this commit:
. drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support
. facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor
can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING
. no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries
. some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases
. drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support
commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet).
. a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir
. new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/
. test compile fix
. harmonize includes
. /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no
kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping
is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even
less on the state of the machine making them now.
. rename nbsd_lib* to lib*
. reduce mtree
Boot stuff dependencies from NetBSD.
Patch by Antoine Leca. Relocated to src/sys.
The port is using the same libminc.a as usual MINIX services (and does
not use NetBSD libkern); the headers imported from NetBSD sys/ tree
have been kept to a minimum (still numbers higher than 30 though.)
Note the peculiar way to use libraries (libsa, libi386, etc.): the
source code is shared, but each component builds its own copy of the
library, with its own set of preprocessor defines.
