bootstrapped environment on NetBSD, MKPROFILE defaults to no, but
using the base system's make library it defaults to yes. This seems
like a bug, but I'm not sure where to fix it so I'm going to stick to
working around it for the moment.
build does e.g. "ln -sf libelf.so.1 libelf.so.1" and then install
fails with ELOOP.
This is a bug in bootstrap-mk-files but I'm going to fix it in both
places to avoid demanding rebootstrapping.
A BSD-licensed implementation of compilation tools (nm, ar,
as, ld, etc.) for the ELF object format.
This release contains BSD-licensed implementations of the
"libdwarf" and "libelf" libraries, and of the "addr2line",
"ar", "brandelf", "c++filt", "elfcopy", "elfdump",
"findtextrel", "mcs", "nm", "ranlib", "readelf", "size",
"strings" and "strip" program development utilities. The
release also contains API and utility reference documentation
(300+ manual entries in all), and contains test suites for
some of these released utilities and libraries.
With thanks to jkoshy for all the help.
