====== Toolchain and Build System Session ======

This session / working group will investigate the state of the build system and toolchain.
For now this page is just a braindump of ideas.  Feel free to add more details and topics yourself.

Possible agenda items:

  - Cross compilation support
  - External toolchain
  - Linker status
  - Removing GNU components from base
  - Modularity in the base system

===== Action Items =====
  * Import bmake into HEAD with a WITH_BMAKE option to make it install as /usr/bin/make
    * Add bmake compat to *.mk
  * Post bmake import, create clean meta mode patch based on it.
  * MFC :tu and :tl back to 7.
  * Test ports with bmake and discuss bmake compat shim with portmgr
  * Start discussion on designing new build system perhaps on toolchain@
    * We do want to use staging during the build process rather than the partial staging done by the includes and libraries targets
    * Support external toolchains
    * Give more thought to the ways flags are set. *Allow CFLAGS on the command line without breaking the build?
      * Saner per-compiler FLAGS?
    * De-conflate WORLDTMP's cross toolchain and sysroot uses
    * De-conflate LDFLAGS for cc and for ld
