- *** Fix configure so that build and source tree can be the same
- tree, or rather more accurately, so that the source dir does
- not have to be an absolute pathname. Building in the source
- dir typically uses relative pathnames for "srcdir".
-
- *** Find a way to get the binutils assembler to assemble the jmp
- instruction that starts off crt0.c in the same way as the
- older gas 1.38. The new one produces a 12 byte instruction
- when the old one was only 8 bytes. This throws off the location
- of the magic number. A special hack as been put in execve.c
- to compensate, but it would be better to have the assembler
- generate the correctly sized instruction.
-
- *** Integrate the manual pages back into the source base, arrange
- to have them built from nroff source during the build process,
- and then installed during the install process. Note that we
- currently only have cat'able man pages, so we need to track
- down the sources, perhaps from the BSD lite distribution.
-
- *** Work out what to do with stuff that used to be in libnet.a
- and are not currently in libc.a, such as getservbyname().
-
- *** The command "rm -f" does not work on a file that is not deletable.
- Check to see if this is an ixemul bug or an rm bug.
-
- *** Either fix so version.c and version.h get automatically generated
- as implied by their leading comment, or else remove this feature.
-
- *** Errlst.c and siglist.c are duplicated in gen_library and static.
- Probably should delete the ones from the static dir. Investigate
- this further.
-
- *** It has been reported that "make clean" does not work.
