* Configure (1.294), Makefile.org (1.142): For systems where gcc is
used and where we don't know if GNU ld is used or not, let's ask
collect2 which ld it uses and choose to use the target
do-gnu_shared if GNU ld is used.
This solves the reported problems on Solaris systems where GNU cc
is used but GNU ld isn't, and probably on other systems with
similar setups.

* Configure (1.232): FreeBSD-elf can do threads. However, there
seems to be confusion if you should defined _THREAD_SAFE (I found
that in an include file, and that's what everybody tells me) or
_THREADSAFE (that's what the gcc manual says in the
FreeBSD-specific section), so I defined both, just to be safe.
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.
variables and disable the Alpha assembler for now, since it has been
shown to fail.
The Alpha failure can be shown by adding the following numbers:
FFFFFFFFFFFFFF0000FF2E00000000EBFFFFFF0000D1
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF46FFE0FFFF0000
The result is:
1FFFFFFFFFFFEFF0000FF2E0000000032FFE0FEFF00D1
The result should really be:
1FFFFFFFFFFFFFF0000FF2E0000000032FFE0FEFF00D1
gcc uses collect2, not ld, to link things. Therefore, when using gcc
there's no need fooling ourselves, it's the gnu-shared method that we
should use. Do it for Solaris to begin with.
Linux on Alpha with gcc knows about shared libraries.
Fix from main trunk, 2000-10-09 02:48 levitte:
Make sure that shareable libraries are turned off if we don't know how
to make them...
The old code was painfully primitive and couldn't handle
distinct certificates using the same subject name.
The new code performs several tests on a candidate issuer
certificate based on certificate extensions.
It also adds several callbacks to X509_VERIFY_CTX so its
behaviour can be customised.
Unfortunately some hackery was needed to persuade X509_STORE
to tolerate this. This should go away when X509_STORE is
replaced, sometime...
This must have broken something though :-(
