new snapshot ss-20010109

[Joel Sherrill]

Hi,

First snapshot of the new year.  Some info on it:

Location: ftp://ftp.oarcorp.com/pub/rtems/snapshots/rtems/current

PLEASE SKIP 20001219 or UPGRADE ASAP! There was serious breakage
in some ports due to a partially applied patch.

Updates:

+ mips port builds mips ISA 1 and 3 BSPs.  Even the r4650 which
  did not link with mips64orion now links!!!
+ some ports broken with a mod to the 20001219 port are now fixed
+ NICE NEWS!! See c/src/lib/libbsp/shared/clockdrv_shell.c.  This
  is a clock driver where you instantiate a handful of macros and
  get a clock driver.  It supports multiple modes:
    + single isr per tick
    + multiple isr per tick
    + fast idle
  mips/jmr3904 and powerpc/psim modified to use this.
  I would like to see this reviewed and all BSPs use it.
+ all hacked/copied/obviously non-functional shmsupp directories removed
+ mips port builds mips ISA 1 and 3 BSPs.  Even the r4650 which
  did not link with mips64orion now links!!!
+ some ports broken with a mod to the 20001219 port are now fixed
+ More of the move to autoconf by Ralf.
+ First step at getting rid of make-target-options.
+ pc386 make-exe rule no longer reaches "up and over" nor accesses 
  install point
+ /dev/null is now part of libmisc rather than being duplicated in
libcpu.

Enjoy!
