[build] Use weak definitions instead of weak declarations

2010-05-27T09:19:14+00:00

This removes the need for inline safety wrappers, marginally reducing the size penalty of weak functions, and works around an apparent binutils bug that causes undefined weak symbols to not actually be NULL when compiling with -fPIE (as EFI builds do). A bug in versions of binutils prior to 2.16 (released in 2005) will cause same-file weak definitions to not work with those toolchains. Update the README to reflect our new dependency on binutils >= 2.16. Signed-off-by: Joshua Oreman Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[build] Rename gPXE to iPXE

2010-04-19T22:43:39+00:00

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and updating URLs to match. Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

Add README file which replaces INSTALL and gives pointers to more information.
