Ian Lance Taylor 6b724427aa compiler, libgo: support bootstrapping gc compiler
In the Go 1.21 release the package internal/profile imports
internal/lazyregexp.  That works when bootstrapping with Go 1.17,
because that compiler has internal/lazyregep and permits importing it.
We also have internal/lazyregexp in libgo, but since it is not installed
it is not available for importing.  This CL adds internal/lazyregexp
to the list of internal packages that are installed for bootstrapping.

The Go 1.21, and earlier, releases have a couple of functions in
the internal/abi package that are always fully intrinsified.
The gofrontend recognizes and intrinsifies those functions as well.
However, the gofrontend was also building function descriptors
for references to the functions without calling them, which
failed because there was nothing to refer to.  That is OK for the
gc compiler, which guarantees that the functions are only called,
not referenced.  This CL arranges to not generate function descriptors
for these functions.

For golang/go#60913

See ../README.

This is the runtime support library for the Go programming language.
This library is intended for use with the Go frontend.

This library should not be stripped when it is installed.  Go code
relies on being able to look up file/line information, which comes
from the debugging info using the libbacktrace library.

The library has only been tested on GNU/Linux using glibc, and on
Solaris.  It should not be difficult to port to other operating
systems.

Directories:

go
  A copy of the Go library from http://golang.org/, with several
  changes for gccgo.

runtime
  Runtime functions, written in C, which are called directly by the
  compiler or by the library.

Debugging
=========

This describes how to test libgo when built as part of gccgo.

To test a specific package, cd to the libgo build directory
(TARGET/libgo) and run `make PKG/check`.  For example, `make
bytes/check`.

To see the exact commands that it runs, including how the compiler is
invoked, run `make GOTESTFLAGS=--trace bytes/check`.  This will
display the commands if the test fails.  If the test passes, the
commands and other output will be visible in a file named
check-testlog in a subdirectory with the name of the package being
checked.  In the case of bytes/check, this will create
bytes/check-testlog.

To leave the test program behind, run `make GOTESTFLAGS=--keep
bytes/check`.  That will leave a gotestNNNN/test directory in the
libgo build directory.  In that directory you can run
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../.libs ./a.out -test.short` to run the tests.
You can run specific failing tests using a -test.run option.  You can
see the tests being run with the -test.v option.  You can run the
program under a debugger such as gdb.
