Subject: New options for ld(1) (#240)
Index: bin/ld/ld.c,man/man1/ld.1 2.11BSD
Description:
Two new options were added to ld(1). -q now suppresses
the undefined symbol message and -v enables the VM statistics
output (which were previously alway printed).
Repeat-By:
N/A
Fix:
When building networked kernels a large number of undefined
symbols are expected due to the multiphase linking proceedure.
These messages are distracting and have caused some folks to cancel
or interrupt the proceedure. '-q' will be used in future kernel
Makefiles to suppress the expected undefined symbol messages.
By popular demand the VM statistics message(s) have been made
optional. Now the "nswap ... sbrk ..." message will not normally
be printed. Using -v will cause ld(1) to emit the statistics.
The man page has been updated to reflect the new options.
Cut where indicated, saving the patch to something like /tmp/foo.
Then:
patch < /tmp/foo
cd /usr/src/bin/ld
make
make install
make clean
cd /usr/src/man/man1
/usr/man/manroff ld.1 > /usr/man/cat1/ld.0
