Add alpha support.

Submitted by: John Birrell <jb@cimlogic.com.au> (with extra hacks by me)
Obtained from: Probably NetBSD

Add "-C" to INSTALLFLAGS to install atomically. An elf->elf
installworld dies at this point otherwise, leaving the system
without a dynamic linker.

Add GDB support. The method and some of the code came from NetBSD's elf
runtime linker.

Import the ELF dynamic linker. This is the ElfKit version with
quite a few enhancements and bug fixes. There are still some known
deficiencies, but it should be adequate to get us started with ELF.

Make WARNS=6 the default for libexec/.

Just like bin/ and sbin/, I think setting WARNS to the highest value
possible will make it more attractive for people to fix warnings.

- The WARNS variable is set in the Makefile in the directory of the
application itself, making it more likely that it will be removed out
of curiosity to see what happens.
- New applications will most likely build with WARNS=6 out of the box,
because the author would more likely fix the warnings during
development than lower WARNS.

Unfortunately almost all apps in libexec require a lowered value of
WARNS.

Second attempt at eliminating .text relocations in shared libraries

Second attempt at eliminating .text relocations in shared libraries
compiled with stack protector.

Use libssp_nonshared library to pull __stack_chk_fail_local symbol into
each library that needs it instead of pulling it from libc. GCC
generates local calls to this function which result in absolute
relocations put into position-independent code segment, making dynamic
loader do extra work every time given shared library is being relocated
and making affected text pages non-shareable.

Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for userland:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.

Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

There most likely still needs to be a version bump for at least the

In the old world (as the surrounding comment in makefile says), there
was the /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 binary which is now a symlink to
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1. To symlink, we need to make sure that the
_target_ (and the target is /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1) doesn't have
"schg" flag set. A real solution is to protect the chflags call only if
target exists, like we do in usr.bin/tip/tip/Makefile.

Avoid an (ignored) error by invoking chflags on the link target, not the
symlink.
