improvements.
Most notable:
Lots of cross compilation improvements. The old cross compilation
support was more or less non-existing as well as broken. Please,
note that the cross compilation support should still be
considered as experimental. Also note that old cross compilation
configurations cannot be used without modifications. For more
information on cross compiling Erlang/OTP see the
$ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md file.
Support for staged install using <url
href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html">D
ESTDIR</url>. The old broken INSTALL_PREFIX has also been fixed.
For more information see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
Documentation of the release target of the top Makefile. For more
information see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
make install now by default creates relative symbolic links
instead of absolute ones. For more information see the
$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
$ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive now works and prints help for
all applications with configure scripts.
Doing make install, or make release directly after make all no
longer triggers miscellaneous rebuilds.
Existing bootstrap system is now used when doing make install, or
make release without a preceding make all.
The crypto and ssl applications use the same runtime library path
when dynamically linking against libssl.so and libcrypto.so. The
runtime library search path has also been extended.
The configure scripts of erl_interface and odbc now search for
thread libraries and thread library quirks the same way as erts
do.
The configure script of the odbc application now also looks for
odbc libraries in lib64 and lib/64 directories when building on a
64-bit system.
The config.h.in file in the erl_interface application is now
automatically generated in instead of statically updated which
reduces the risk of configure tests without any effect.
(Thanks to Henrik Riomar for suggestions and testing)
(Thanks to Winston Smith for the AVR32-Linux cross configuration
and testing)

With the {ssl_imp,new} option enabled, {packet,PacketType} only
works when receiving. When sending, {packet,0} is always used.

lib/et/src/et.app.src lists a module (et_contents_viewer) for which
there is no source module, so it doesn't get built or installed.
This breaks tools like HiPE's big test suite that parse installed .app
files and expect to find a .beam file for every listed module.
Fixed by deleting the offending line. I also noticed a duplicated
line for the et_viewer module, and deleted that too.

environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features
are added in the documentation build process.
- The arity calculation is updated.
- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are
removed in the generated links so the links will look like
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2"
instead of
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-
2".
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a
new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks
to Sergei Golovan)
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build
process can be used for non OTP applications.

The patch is from:
http://vcs.pcre.org/viewvc?revision=360&view=revision
Test case:
re:compile(<<"(?i)[\xc3\xa9\xc3\xbd]|[\xc3\xa9\xc3\xbdA]">>, [unicode]).
An option change at the start of a pattern that had top-level
alternatives could cause overwriting and/or a crash.
This potential security problem was recorded as CVE-2008-2371.

children being managed without the memory impact of which_children/1
The function which_children/1 returns a list of the child processes
currently being supervised, but it has the penalty of creating a new
list thereby consuming more memory. In low memory situations it is
often desirable to know which supervisor may have generated many
processes, but the act of discovering the culprit should not cause the
node to crash (or worse a different node if the kernel kills one
randomly). The new function count_children/1 can give an indication
of which supervisor is taxing resources the most without adding to the
burden. Rather than creating a new list, it walks the supervisor's
internal children structure using an accumulator function so that any
used memory can be incrementally collected yet the resulting count can
still be obtained.
The return result of count_children/1 is a property list of counts
containing:
- {specs, Total_Num_Child_Specs}
- {active, Num_Active_Child_Processes_Of_Supervisor_Or_Worker_Type}
- {supervisors, Num_Supervisor_Type_Children_Including_Dead_Processes}
- {workers, Num_Worker_Type_Children_Including_Dead_Processes}
This patch was made in response to mailing list discussions of the
problem diagnosing heavily taxed production systems. I cannot find
the original request, but http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi/4/35060
is my original post of the patch.

prompt strings (io:get_line/{1,2}). io_lib is also updated to

* egil/lcnt:
Add test suite for lcnt in tools
Add lcnt:rt_opt/1 bindings to erts_debug
Add runtime option to enable/disable lcnt stats
Add auto width on string output
Add lcnt documentation
Add lock profiling tool
OTP-8424 Add lock profiling tool.
The Lock profiling tool, lcnt, can make use of the internal lock
statistics when the runtime system is built with this feature
enabled.
This provides a mechanism to examine potential lock bottlenecks
within the runtime itself.
- Add erts_debug:lock_counters({copy_save, bool()}). This option
enables or disables statistics saving for destroyed processes and
ets-tables. Enabling this might consume a lot of memory.
- Add id-numbering for lock classes which is otherwise undefined.

of the script
This patch will ensure the Install.src script to exit with the exit code 0
when the execution finished at the end of the script.

In UNIX test command, "==" is incorrect for string comparison;
"=" is the right operator. Originally pointed out by
Giacomo Olgeni in the following article:
http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-patches/2008-November/000334.html
and available as a FreeBSD port patch.
Accordingly fixed in erts/configure.in
