In HEAD this approach was taken one step further. There is linux-generic32
target which is used as unified Linux target for ARM, PA-RISC, SPARCv7, S390...
"whatever" doesn't the same (avoids 386 being passed to ./Configure),
consistent with other elder SCO targets and denotes that we probably
shouldn't care much about every out-of-date platform.
His comments are:
1) Changes all references for `True64' to be `Tru64', which is the correct
spelling for the OS name.
2) Makes `alpha-cc' be the same as `alpha164-cc', and adds an `alphaold-cc'
entry that is the same as the previous `alpha-cc'. The reason is that most
people these days are using the newer compiler, so it should be the default.
3) Adds a bit of commentary to Configure, regarding the name changes of
the OS over the years, so it's not so confusing to people that haven't been
with the OS for a while.
4) Adds an `alpha-cc-rpath' target (which is *not* selected automatically
by Configure under any circumstance) that builds an RPATH into the
shared libraries. This is explained in the comment in Configure. It's
very very useful for people that want it, and people that don't want it
just shouldn't choose that target.
5) Adds the `-pthread' flag as the best way to get POSIX thread support
from the newer compiler.
6) Updates the Makefile targets, so that when the `alpha164-cc', `alpha-cc',
or `alpha-cc-rpath' target is what Configure is set to use, it uses a Makefile
target that includes the `-msym' option when building the shared library.
This is a performance enhancement.
7) Updates `config' so that if it detects you're running version 4 or 5
of the OS, it automatically selects `alpha-cc', but uses `alphaold-cc'
for versions 1-3 of the OS.
8) Updates the comment in opensslv.h, fixing both the OS name typo and
adding a reference to IRIX 6.x, since the shared library semantics are
virtually identical there.
HP-UX in common in ./config). Note that for the moment of this writing
none of 64-bit platforms pass bntest. I'm committing this anyway as it's
too frustrating to patch snapshots over and over while 0.9.6 is known to
work.
explicitely noted that 64-bit SPARCv9 ABI is not officially supported
by GCC 3.0 (support is scheduled for 3.1 release), but it appears to
work, at the very least 'make test' passes...
