As discussed previously, a.out support is now quite deprecated, and in
some cases removed, in both Binutils itself and NetBSD, so this legacy
default makes little sense. `netbsdelf*` and `netbsdaout*` still work
allowing the user to be explicit about there choice. Additionally, the
configure script warns about the change as Nick Clifton requested.
One possible concern was the status of NetBSD on NS32K, where only a.out
was supported. But per [1] NetBSD has removed support, and if it were to
come back, it would be with ELF. The binutils implementation is
therefore marked obsolete, per the instructions in the last message.
With that patch and this one applied, I have confirmed the following:
--target=i686-unknown-netbsd
--target=i686-unknown-netbsdelf
builds completely
--target=i686-unknown-netbsdaout
properly fails because target is deprecated.
--target=vax-unknown-netbsdaout builds completely except for gas, where
the target is deprecated.

Apparently some distros have a nagging egrep that helpfully tells you
egrep is deprecated and to use "grep -E". The nag message causes a ld
testsuite failure. What's more the advice isn't that good. The "-E"
flag may not be available with older versions of grep.
This patch fixes bare invocation of egrep within binutils, replacing
it with the autoconf $EGREP or with grep.

gas uses ZSTD_compressStream2 which is only available with libzstd >=
1.4.0, leading to build errors when an older version is installed.
This patch updates the check libzstd presence to check its version is
>= 1.4.0. However, since gas seems to be the only component requiring
such a recent version this may imply that we disable ZSTD support for
all components although some would still benefit from an older
version.
I ran 'autoreconf -f' in all directories containing a configure.ac
file, using vanilla autoconf-2.69 and automake-1.15.1. I noticed
several errors from autoheader in readline, as well as warnings in
intl, but they are unrelated to this patch.
This should fix some of the buildbots.
OK for trunk?
Thanks,
Christophe

* gdb: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input. The bfd change references zstd
symbols, so gdb has to link against -lzstd in this patch.
If zstd is not supported, ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input triggers an error. We
can avoid HAVE_ZSTD if binutils-gdb imports zstd/ like zlib/, but this
is too heavyweight, so don't do it for now.

GCC fails to bootstrap when configured with --enable-languages=all on
machines that have older versions of GNAT installed as the system Ada
compiler. In configure, it's not sufficient to check whether gnat is
available, but whether a sufficiently recent version of GNAT is
installed. This patch tweaks config/acx.m4 so that conftest.adb also
contains a reference to System.CRTL.int64 as required by the current
version of gcc/ada/osint.adb. This fixes the build when the system
Ada is GNAT v4.8.5 (on Redhat 7) by disabling ada, but continues to
work fine when the system Ada is GNAT v11.3.1.

This makes the host_shared value available to host makefile

config/ChangeLog:
* mh-darwin: Require a non-shared host configuration to
enable mdynamic-no-pic where that is supported.
There were two uses for the Darwin host config fragment:
The first is to arrange for targets that support mdynamic-no-pic
to be built with that enabled (since it makes a significant
difference to the compiler performance). We can be more specific
in the application of this, since it only applies to 32b hosts
plus powerpc64-darwin9.
The second was to work around a tool bug where -fno-PIE was not
propagated to the link stage. This second use is redundant,
since the buggy toolchain cannot bootstrap current GCC sources
anyway.
This makes the host fragment more specific and reduces the number
of toolchains for which it is included which reduces clutter in
configure lines.
