"remaining relocations" in assembler modules. The latter seems to
be new behaviour, elder as/ld managed to resolve this relocations
as internal. It's possible to address this problem differently,
but I settle for -Bsymbolic...

"Proper" means "compiles and passes test." Versioning is broken (I think).

COFF and a.out targets [similar to ELF targets]. You might notice some
rudementary support for shared mingw builds under cygwin. It works (it
produces cryptoeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll with everything exported by
name), but it's primarily for testing/debugging purposes, at least for
now...

libraries. Old .sl extension works just fine, but it .so which is default.

I also used this opportunity to clean up some out-of-date targets and
re-group targets by OS.

think that proper Makefile clean-up is required.

this flag RAND_poll ends up in end-less loop calling RAND_add. But
don't ask me why...

both vendor and GNU compilers. ./engine shared build are still busted.
I mean always were...

after more tests...

For reference. Note that both cc and gcc support -Wl flag, but we can't
use -Wl,-[not]all with both drivers, because cc rearranges options
passed through -Wl. We can't use -Wl,-all,libcrypto.a,-notall with cc
either, because it refuses to start with "no input" error.

It seems that svr3 and svr5 differ, after all.

libraries.  What's worse, the directories given in LD_LIBRARY_PATH are
checked first!  Therefore, we need a hack to prepend all the
directories we give with -L to the current value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
thereby temporarly forming a hacked value.

Only copy LIBEXTRAS if they are given.

Svr5 doesn't use -z allextract...

-shared rather than -G.

applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
to do it.

Note: this has only been tested on GNU-based platforms (Linux), and
needs to be tested on all others.  Additionally, it's not yet
supported on the following platforms, for lack of information:

Darwin (MacOS X)
Cygwin
OSF1/Alpha
SVR3
ReliantUNIX

Please help out with testing and the platforms we don't yet know well
enough.

assignment (modulo those I missed) individual statements.

Makefiles... I suppose it wasn't tested very much...

0.9.7-stable.

Add missing semicolons.
Add a comment explaining a bunch of targets without any action lines.

idea why, but that was definitely wrong...

Make sure test doesn't barf because of missing spaces before the
closing ].
Add -lc to the list of libraries we depend upon.  Not always
necessary, but never hurts.

wrong, and my test engine doesn't show it.  The verbosity will be
temporary for about a day.

shared library, set those flags conditionally.

at all, and in all other cases, make sure foo.so is linked to
foo.so.{soversion}.

Add a variant of SHLIB_SOVER without the preceding period.

the version in the file name.

helper makefile that generalises our way of building shared libraries
and is designed to take care of almost anything (I hope).
