HEADS UP!! NOAOUT `make world' knob changed

1999-03-29 Thread David O'Brien
I have just changed made a change concerning the building of legacy a.out
bits during `make world'.

Previous to my change, one would define NOAOUT to keep from building
the legacy a.out bits.  Now one would define WANT_AOUT to build them.

The default of building a.out bits gets in the way of some other changes
I will make to the `build world' process soon.

OK, which bits?  Does this mean that new systems will no longer run
a.out binaries?  Or will the libraries no longer be built?  Will the
existing ones be removed?

Will WANT_AOUT be considered a supported option?  That is, if I choose
to build a.out libraries, will I be giving up the right to gripe when
`make world' breaks, and be resigned to the ranks of the NOCLEAN
masses?

Cheers,

If I can get it to work.

At this time (well... you will know when you time comes).
Right now, I do need it tested that WANT_AOUT works.
