This commit broke PXE booting:
-----
ru 2004/02/09 06:11:58 PST
FreeBSD src repository
Modified files:
sys/boot/i386 Makefile.inc
sys/boot/i386/boot0 Makefile
sys/boot/i386/boot2 Makefile
sys/boot/i386/btx/btx Makefile
sys/boot/i386/btx/btxldr Makefile
sys/boot/i386/btx/lib Makefile
sys/boot/i386/cdboot Makefile
sys/boot/i386/kgzldr Makefile
sys/boot/i386/loader Makefile
sys/boot/i386/mbr Makefile
sys/boot/i386/pxeldr Makefile
Log:
- Factor out -nostdlib to an upper level Makefile.inc.
- Now that bsd.prog.mk deals with programs linked with -nostdlib
better, and has a notion of an "internal" program, use PROG
where possible. This has a good impact on the contents of
.depend files and causes programs to be linked with cc(1).
XXX: boot2 couldn't be converted as it's actually two programs.
Tested on: i386, amd64
-----
I verified this with a binary search using perforce syncing against a
local checkout of //depot/vendor/freebsd/src/. At 2004/02/09:06:15
pxeldr works. At 2004/02/09:06:16 it dies. The only files that change
in this time frame are these files in sys/boot.
Specifically the problem is rev 1.73 of sys/boot/i386/loader/Makefile. A
tip of tree checkout with rev 1.73 removed PE boots.
