IBCS on VAX?? why?

[Olaf Seibert]

I was compiling a kernel from recently supped sources, and make depend
failed:

...compat/ibcs2/ibcs2_misc.c:92: i386/include/reg.h: no such file or
directory

Of course, I don't have i386/include/reg.h installed. And I wondered why
a VAX has anything to do with an Intel Binary Compatibility Standard.
Sure enough, in files.vax I found

include "compat/ibcs2/files.ibcs2"
file arch/vax/vax/ibcs2_machdep.c compat_ibcs2

I am now redepending, having commented out those lines, hoping it works
better now.

Nope, I get some undefined symbols when linking:

exec_conf.o: Undefined symbol `_exec_ibcs2_coff_makecmds' referenced from data segment
exec_conf.o: Undefined symbol `_exec_ibcs2_xout_makecmds' referenced from data segment

(I forgot to remove options COMPAT_IBCS2 from my config file - duh)

I seem to recall something about needing some other CPU support options
for the latter references. A better fix is adding

#include "opt_vax410.h"
#include "opt_vax43.h"

to vax/clock.c.

With these changes, my kernel compiles. Yay! On to a make build! I am
pretty sure that should work pretty well - I already made an Alpha build
from these same sources.
