binutils/GCC: Quote ${COMPILER_FOR_TARGET}
Replace
if test x${COMPILER_FOR_TARGET} = x"\$(CC)"; then
with
if test x"${COMPILER_FOR_TARGET}" = x"\$(CC)"; then
since COMPILER_FOR_TARGET may contain spaces when configuring GCC.

binutils: Pass target plugin file to target ar/nm/ranlib
There are 2 kinds of binutils tests:
1. Tests of binutils object files and libraries using the build tools,
like CC, AR, NM and RANLIB.
2. Tests of binutils programs as the target tools, like CC_FOR_TARGET,
AR_FOR_TARGET, NM_FOR_TARGET and RANLIB_FOR_TARGET.
Set AR_PLUGIN_OPTION_FOR_TARGET, NM_PLUGIN_OPTION_FOR_TARGET and
RANLIB_PLUGIN_OPTION_FOR_TARGET to the target compiler plugin file for
target ar/nm/ranlib.

Binutils/GCC: Add clang LTO support to AR, NM and RANLIB
Add CLANG_PLUGIN_FILE to find the clang plugin file and pass it to
--plugin for ar, nm and ranlib so that binutils can be built with
clang LTO. Run CLANG_PLUGIN_FILE before GCC_PLUGIN_OPTION since
GCC_PLUGIN_OPTION may return the wrong PLUGIN_OPTION with clang.

The stray line defining enable_darwin_at_rpath outside of the scope of _LT_DARWIN_LINKER_FEATURES is a mistake and should be removed. It leads to a wrong line in fixincludes/ChangeLog because there is no $1 argument at that point. ChangeLog: * libtool.m4: Fix stray call fixincludes/ChangeLog: * configure: Regenerated.
Recent Darwin versions place contraints on the use of run paths specified in environment variables. This breaks some assumptions in the GCC build. This change allows the user to configure a Darwin build to use '@rpath/libraryname.dylib' in library names and then to add an embedded runpath to executables (and libraries with dependents). The embedded runpath is added by default unless the user adds '-nodefaultrpaths' to the link line. For an installed compiler, it means that any executable built with that compiler will reference the runtimes installed with the compiler (equivalent to hard-coding the library path into the name of the library). During build-time configurations any "-B" entries will be added to the runpath thus the newly-built libraries will be found by exes. Since the install name is set in libtool, that decision needs to be available here (but might also cause dependent ones in Makefiles, so we need to export a conditional). This facility is not available for Darwin 8 or earlier, however the existing environment variable runpath does work there. We default this on for systems where the external DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work and off for Darwin 8 or earlier. For systems that can use either method, if the value is unset, we use the default (which is currently DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH). ChangeLog: * configure: Regenerate. * configure.ac: Do not add default runpaths to GCC exes when we are building -static-libstdc++/-static-libgcc (the default). * libtool.m4: Add 'enable-darwin-at-runpath'.

My previous nm patch handled all cases but one -- if the user set NM in the environment to a path which contained an option, libtool's nm detection tries to run nm against a copy of nm with the options in it: e.g. if NM was set to "nm --blargle", and nm was found in /usr/bin, the test would try to run "/usr/bin/nm --blargle /usr/bin/nm --blargle". This is unlikely to be desirable: in this case we should run "/usr/bin/nm --blargle /usr/bin/nm". Furthermore, as part of this nm has to detect when the passed-in $NM contains a path, and in that case avoid doing a path search itself. This too was thrown off if an option contained something that looked like a path, e.g. NM="nm -B../prev-gcc"; libtool then tries to run "nm -B../prev-gcc nm" which rarely works well (and indeed it looks to see whether that nm exists, finds it doesn't, and wrongly concludes that nm -p or whatever does not work). Fix all of these by clipping all options (defined as everything including and after the first " -") before deciding whether nm contains a path (but not using the clipped value for anything else), and then removing all options from the path-modified nm before looking to see whether that nm existed. NM=my-nm now does a path search and runs e.g. /usr/bin/my-nm -B /usr/bin/my-nm NM=/usr/bin/my-nm now avoids a path search and runs e.g. /usr/bin/my-nm -B /usr/bin/my-nm NM="my-nm -p../wombat" now does a path search and runs e.g. /usr/bin/my-nm -p../wombat -B /usr/bin/my-nm NM="../prev-binutils/new-nm -B../prev-gcc" now avoids a path search: ../prev-binutils/my-nm -B../prev-gcc -B ../prev-binutils/my-nm This seems to be all combinations, including those used by GCC bootstrap (which, before this commit, fails to bootstrap when configured --with-build-config=bootstrap-lto, because the lto plugin is now using --export-symbols-regex, which requires libtool to find a working nm, while also using -B../prev-gcc to point at the lto plugin associated with the GCC just built.)

Libtool needs to get BSD-format (or MS-format) output out of the system nm, so that it can scan generated object files for symbol names for -export-symbols-regex support. Some nms need specific flags to turn on BSD-formatted output, so libtool checks for this in its AC_PATH_NM. Unfortunately the code to do this has a pair of interlocking flaws: - it runs the test by doing an nm of /dev/null. Some platforms reasonably refuse to do an nm on a device file, but before now this has only been worked around by assuming that the error message has a specific textual form emitted by Tru64 nm, and that getting this error means this is Tru64 nm and that nm -B would work to produce BSD-format output, even though the test never actually got anything but an error message out of nm -B. This is fixable by nm'ing *nm itself* (since we necessarily have a path to it). - the test is entirely skipped if NM is set in the environment, on the grounds that the user has overridden the test: but the user cannot reasonably be expected to know that libtool wants not only nm but also flags forcing BSD-format output. Worse yet, one such "user" is the top-level Cygnus configure script, which neither tests for nor specifies any BSD-format flags. So platforms needing BSD-format flags always fail to set them when run in a Cygnus tree, breaking -export-symbols-regex on such platforms. Libtool also needs to augment $LD on some platforms, but this is done unconditionally, augmenting whatever the user specified: the nm check should do the same. One wrinkle: if the user has overridden $NM, a path might have been provided: so we use the user-specified path if there was one, and otherwise do the path search as usual. (If the nm specified doesn't work, this might lead to a few extra pointless path searches -- but the test is going to fail anyway, so that's not a problem.) (Tested with NM unset, and set to nm, /usr/bin/nm, my-nm where my-nm is a symlink to /usr/bin/nm on the PATH, and /not-on-the-path/my-nm where *that* is a symlink to /usr/bin/nm.) ChangeLog: * libtool.m4 (LT_PATH_NM): Try BSDization flags with a user-provided NM, if there is one. Run nm on itself, not on /dev/null, to avoid errors from nms that refuse to work on non-regular files. Remove other workarounds for this problem.

This change adds the configury bits to activate the build of shared libs on VxWorks ports configured with --enable-shared, for libraries variants where this is generally supported (rtp, code model !large - currently not compatible with -fPIC). Set lt_cv_deplibs_check_method in libtool.m4, so the build of libraries know how to establish dependencies. This is useful in configurations such as aarch64 where proper support of LSE relies on accurate dependency information between libstdc++ and libgcc_s to begin with.
