XFFLAG usage flag day

Subject: XFFLAG usage flag day


The putback of 6634436: "XFFLAG should be updated", changes the flags
definition from -xF to -xF=%all.  This update provides for separating
both data and function items into their own sections, which in turn
can provide for better unused material deletion with ld(1) -z ignore.

The change in this flag needs a compatible version of cw.  cw was
modified to accept this new flag under 6637894, which was integrated
in snv_80.  Without this new cw, components of the build that set the
XFFLAG will see errors:

      cw: error: mapping failed at or near arg '-xF=%all'

Nightly, that now employs -t as the default, should show no errors.
Users that build XFFLAG components outside of nightly should make sure
their SUNWonbld components are at least from snv_80.
