* ELF v1 on powerpc64 is only barely kept on life support in a couple of Linux
distros. I don't anticipate that this will last much longer.
* Most of the Linux world has moved to powerpc64le which requires ELF v2.
* Some Linux distros have even started supporting powerpc64 with ELF v2.
* The BSD world has long since moved to ELF v2.
* We have no actual linking support for ELF v1.
* ELF v1 had confused DWARF register mappings which is becoming a problem in
our DWARF code in std.debug.
It's clear that ELF v1 is on its way out, and we never fully supported it
anyway. So let's not waste any time or energy on it going forward.

For the supported COFF machine types of X64 (x86_64), I386 (x86), ARMNT (thumb), and ARM64 (aarch64), this new Zig implementation results in byte-for-byte identical .lib files when compared to the previous LLVM-backed implementation.
This is a little different from how C/C++ compilers do this, but I think it's
justified because it's what users actually *mean* when the use frame pointer
options.
This is another one of those LLVM "CPU" features that have nothing to do with
CPU at all and should really be a TargetMachine option or something. One day
we'll figure out a better way of dealing with these...
Before, this had a subtle ordering bug where duplicate
deps that are specified as both lazy and eager in different
parts of the dependency tree end up not getting fetched
depending on the ordering. I modified it to resubmit lazy
deps that were promoted to eager for fetching so that it will
be around for the builds that expect it to be eager downstream
of this.
We mustn't emit the DT_PLTGOT entry in `.dynamic` in a statically-linked
PIE, because there's no dl to relocate it (and `std.pie.relocate`, or
the PIE relocator in libc, won't touch it). In that case, there cannot
be any PLT entries, so there's no point emitting the `.got.plt` section
at all. If we just don't create that section, `link.Elf` already knows
not to add the DT_PLTGOT entry to `.dynamic`.

At least, when there's not a ZigObject. The old behavior was incorrect
in the presence of a ZigObject, and this doesn't really mix nicely with
incremental compilation anyway; but when the objects are all external,
we may as well build the search table.
Far simpler, because everything which `crash_report.zig` did is now
handled pretty well by `std.debug` anyway. All we want is to print some
context around panics and segfaults. Using the new ability to override
the default segfault handler while still having std handle the
target-specific bits for us, that's really simple.
The memory operand might use one of the extended GPRs R8 through R15 and
hence require a REX prefix, but having a REX prefix makes the high-byte
register AH unencodeable as the src operand. This latent bug was exposed
by this branch, presumably because `select` now happens to be putting
something in an extended GPR instead of a legacy GPR.
In theory this could be fixed with minimal cost by introducing a way to
communicate to `select` that neither the destination memory nor the
other temporary can be in an extended GPR. However, I just went for the
simple solution which comes at a cost of one trivial instruction: copy
the remainder from AH to AL, and *then* copy AL to the destination.
`rep movsb` isn't usually a great idea here. This commit makes the logic
which tentatively existed in `genInlineMemcpy` apply in more cases, and
in particular applies it to the "new" backend logic. Put simply, all
copies of 128 bytes or fewer will now attempt this path first,
where---provided there is an SSE register and/or a general-purpose
register available---we will lower the operation using a sequence of 32,
16, 8, 4, 2, and 1 byte copy operations.
The feedback I got on this diff was "Push it to master and if it
miscomps I'll revert it" so don't blame me when it explodes
Before https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/18160, error tracing defaulted to true in ReleaseSafe, but that is no longer the case. These option descriptions were never updating accordingly.
--debug-rt previously would make rt libs match the root module. Now they
are always debug when --debug-rt is passed. This includes compiler-rt,
fuzzer lib, and others.
