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excessively outdated GDB in FreeBSD 13.

As of r361857 all BINUTILS options are disabled by default - ports
have been changed to depend on binutils if they require GNU as, and
all base system assembly files have been switched to use Clang's
integrated assembler.

We haven't used the GNU versions of these tools for some time.

Previously we descended into as only if MK_BINUTILS was true, including
during the bootstrap tool phase. BINUTILS is now disabled by default on
all archs, and we failed to build it during amd64 bootstrap.
Descend into as if either BINUTILS or BINUTILS_BOOTSTRAP is enabled.
This is not quite correct: we should either have the test also depend on
BOOTSTRAPPING, or set BINUTILS to the value of BINUTILS_BOOTSTRAP during
the bootstrap phase. However, this simple change fixes the build and
has been tested, and binutils will be removed completely in the near
future.

The in-tree binutils is old and will not be updated. It does not support
all archs supported by FreeBSD, and for the archs it does support not all
CPU features are supported.
Other tools have migrated to copyfree alternatives. Although llvm-objdump
is nearly a drop-in replacement for GNU objdump it is missing a few options
and has some differences in output format. For now just remove GNU objdump;
ports and developers can use a contemporary, maintained version from ports
or packages. We can revisit installing llvm-objdump as objdump in the
future.

GNU as 2.17.50 is currently required by amd64 and i386 for at least one
file that cannot be assembled by Clang's integrated assembler (IAS).
Other supported CPU architectures either use Clang IAS for all assembly
files, or rely on external toolchain.

In the future FreeBSD will ship without GNU binutils 2.17.50. Add a
note advising users who require GNU as to install the binutils port
or package.
Note that on armv7, arm64, amd64, i386 we currently ship only two
binutils tools (as and objdump). A deprecation notice was added to
objdump's man page some time ago.

When using LLVM+clang+lld on PowerPC64, ld.bfd is also needed,
to link 32-bit binaries correctly, as lld support for 32-bit is

This change enables it to be built and installed when lld is used.

We're studing the possibility of deprecating sbrk(). To make it easier
we're removing unnecessicary uses in the base system. None of these

Make armv7 as a new MACHINE_ARCH.
Copy all the places we do armv6 and add armv7 as basically an
alias. clang appears to generate code for armv7 by default. armv7 hard
float isn't supported by the the in-tree gcc, so it hasn't been
updated to have a new default.
Support armv7 as a new valid MACHINE_ARCH (and by extension
TARGET_ARCH).
Add armv7 to the universe build.

Summary:
The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU.
Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor
unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the
stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this.
Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually
exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was
created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it
becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save
the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by
the SPE).
Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not
support double-precision floating point.
Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary
packages which utilize the SPE.
Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this.
This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support
has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very
easy.
Test Plan:
This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222
(P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities
(/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot
multiuser.

We intend to replace GNU ld with LLVM's lld, and on the path to there
we'll experiment with having lld installed or linked as /usr/bin/ld.
Thus, make ld.bfd the primary install target for GNU ld, to later
facilitate making the ld link optional.

Tracking these leads to situations where meta mode will consider the

file. There's no reason for meta mode to do this as make is already

ld(1) uses the /usr/libdata/ldscripts when linking. These scripts add in the
default search paths of /lib and /usr/lib via 'SEARCH_DIR("DIR")'. These
need to be prefixed by '=' so that the --sysroot flag is respected. This
is not a problem with buildworld since the TOOLS_PREFIX is baked into the
cross-ld. However it is a problem when trying to use ld(1) with --sysroot
anywhere else as it ends up still reading /lib and /usr/lib despite --sysroot.
The default --sysroot (TARGET_SYSTEM_ROOT) is '/' for /usr/bin/ld.
I found this while building with META MODE with uses only --sysroot with
/usr/bin/ld, and found that libraries that I had not built in its sysroot
directory were leaking in. This didn't happen with ports binutils either. This
would also impact external compiler support.

In r204548 the 'rm -f ldscripts' was added likely due to reading the
conditional as 'else it is a file'. That seems unlikely though and
the more likely case is just that the directory hasn't been created yet.
Because this races with ,ssother scripts, use 'mkdir -p' which is a minimal
modification vs upstream to avoid the warning of 'File exists' if another
script creates it first. This could replace the 'test -d' as well but
then it's more unneeded change to the upstream script.
