For the C files, rather than force the caller to juggle
crypto_linux_sources, etc., we just wrap the whole file in ifdefs and
ask the callers to link everything together.
Assembly is typically built by a different tool, so we have less room
here. However, there are really only two families of tools we care
about: gas (which runs the C preprocessor) and nasm (which has its own
preprocessor). Callers should be able to limit themselves to
special-casing Windows x86(_64) for NASM and then pass all the remaining
assembly files to their gas-like tool. File-wide ifdefs can take care of
the rest.
We're almost set up to allow this, except the files condition on
architecture, but not OS. Add __ELF__, __APPLE__, and _WIN32 conditions
as appropriate.
One subtlety: the semantics of .note.GNU-stack are that *any* unmarked
object file makes the stack executable. (In current GNU ld. lld doesn't
have this issue, and GNU ld claims they'll remove it in a later
release.) Empirically, this doesn't seem to apply to empty object files
but, to be safe, we should ensure all object files have the marking.
That leads to a second subtlety: on targets where @ is a comment,
@progbits is spelled %progbits, per [0]. If we want all .S files to work
in all targets, that includes these markers. Fortunately, %progbits
appears to work universally (see [1], [2], [3], [4]), so I've just
switched us to that spelling.
I've also tightened up the __arm__ and __aarch64__ checks to __ARMEL__
and __AARCH64EL__. We don't support big-endian Arm (or any other
platform) and, even if we did, the conditions in the assembly files
should match the conditions in the C files that pull them in.
This CL doesn't change our build to take advantage of this (though I'll
give it a go later), just makes it possible for builds to do it.
