1This area contains the build configuration for selected AT&T Software Technology 2(AST) libraries and commands. In particular ksh (the illumos /bin/sh), its 3supporting libraries and and a small number of system commands, see 4./ksh/builtins/alias.c 5 6The source for these components is in usr/src/contrib/ast/; see the README 7file there for more information. 8 9The AST library builds use FEATURE files to describe the capabilities of the 10host system and build environment (similar to the output from tools like 11GNU autoconf). In order to support cross compilation and ensure reproducible 12builds, these files are present in this tree under libXXX/<arch>/FEATURE/ 13alongside a small number of other generated files. 14 15The FEATURE files can be re-generated based on the current contents of 16proto using 'make _feature' in this directory. This should be done after 17adding new features to the standard libraries that AST can detect and use. 18This needs to be done for all supported architectures. 19
