* solib.c (solib_add): New argument is the target_ops whose
section list is to be added to, if any. Reallocate the sections in that target to add any that come from shared libs. (throughout) so_sections renamed to sections. (solib_xfer_memory): Deleted. * tm-sunos.h (SOLIB_ADD): Add target argument. (SOLIB_XFER_MEMORY): Delete. * xm-sun3os4.h, xm-sun4os4.h: Define BROKEN_LARGE_ALLOCA, and add comment explaining shared library screw.

-/* There is a bug which can cause alloca to fail to allocate large
- areas of memory one time in every 4096 (we think). */
-/* chase@orc.olivetti.com says that 4 megabyte alloca's consistently fail,
- even though the stack limit (SET_STACK_LIMIT_HUGE) has been set
- to 250 megabytes. */
+/* Large alloca's fail because the attempt to increase the stack limit in
+ main() fails because shared libraries are allocated just below the initial
+ stack limit. The SunOS kernel will not allow the stack to grow into
+ the area occupied by the shared libraries. Sun knows about this bug
+ but has no obvious fix for it. */
