Call for review: crunchide MIPS support from NetBSD

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi everyone,

I've ported over the NetBSD crunchide elf32 code which modifies the
way symbols are hidden. This allows it to generate crunched binaries
for MIPS.

The diff is available at -
http://people.freebsd.org/~adrian/crunchide-mips32-fix-from-netbsd.diff

I've ported it to use the ELF byteorder macros present in our tree.
This allows it to build both native and cross-compiled MIPS crunched
binaries. I've tested building a static and dynamic "rescue".

I'd like to get some wider scale testing of this before I chase down
getting it committed. The same code path is used for i386/amd64
crunched binaries and thus committing this may break building
sysinstall and rescue on those platforms.

Thanks,


Adrian
