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/xcomp/README 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/README file.
Documentation of the release target of the top Makefile. For more
information see the $ERL_TOP/README file.
make install now by default creates relative symbolic links
instead of absolute ones. For more information see the
$ERL_TOP/README 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.

The commands in otp_build for updating the checked-in preloaded
modules only works in ClearCase.
Add support updating the preloaded files in a git repository as well.
Check the $version_controller variable so that we can have
"otp_build update_preloaded" do different things depending on
whether it is run in a ClearCase view or a git repository.
When run in a git repository, "otp_build update_preloaded" will
update and commit the preloaded modules (to undo the updating of
the preloaded modules, do "git reset --hard HEAD^").
Update the usage text to only show the commands relevant to
the kind of VCS it is being run in.

We want to add the ability for otp_build to determine which
version control system (VCS) is being used, so that the
commands for updating the primary bootstrap and pre-loaded
modules can be updated to do different things depending on
the VCS.
In the beginning of the otp_build script, set the variable
"version_controller" to either "none" (for no VCS), "git",
or "clearcase".

new mandatory configuration variable that replaces all other
previously mandatory configuration variables, and better
documentation. Note that old cross compilation configurations
cannot be used without modifications.
For more information see the $ERL_TOP/xcomp/README file.
