<p>Cross compilation improvements and other build system
improvements.</p>
<p>Most notable:</p> <list><item> Lots of cross
compilation improvements. The old cross compilation
support was more or less non-existing as well as broken.
Please, note that the cross compilation support should
still be considered as experimental. Also note that old
cross compilation configurations cannot be used without
modifications. For more information on cross compiling
Erlang/OTP see the <c>$ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md</c> file.
</item><item> Support for staged install using <url
href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html">DESTDIR</url>.
The old broken <c>INSTALL_PREFIX</c> has also been fixed.
For more information see the <c>$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md</c>
file. </item><item> Documentation of the <c>release</c>
target of the top <c>Makefile</c>. For more information
see the <c>$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md</c> file. </item><item>
<c>make install</c> now by default creates relative
symbolic links instead of absolute ones. For more
information see the <c>$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md</c> file.
</item><item> <c>$ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive</c>
now works and prints help for all applications with
<c>configure</c> scripts. </item><item> Doing <c>make
install</c>, or <c>make release</c> directly after
<c>make all</c> no longer triggers miscellaneous
rebuilds. </item><item> Existing bootstrap system is now
used when doing <c>make install</c>, or <c>make
release</c> without a preceding <c>make all</c>.
</item><item> The <c>crypto</c> and <c>ssl</c>
applications use the same runtime library path when
dynamically linking against <c>libssl.so</c> and
<c>libcrypto.so</c>. The runtime library search path has
also been extended. </item><item> The <c>configure</c>
scripts of <c>erl_interface</c> and <c>odbc</c> now
search for thread libraries and thread library quirks the
same way as <c>erts</c> do. </item><item> The
<c>configure</c> script of the <c>odbc</c> application
now also looks for odbc libraries in <c>lib64</c> and
<c>lib/64</c> directories when building on a 64-bit
system. </item><item> The <c>config.h.in</c> file in the
<c>erl_interface</c> application is now automatically
generated in instead of statically updated which reduces
the risk of <c>configure</c> tests without any effect.

<p>
Add support for prefixing macro names generated by the
compiler</p>

This is useful when multiple protocols that contains
macros with identical names are included in a single
module.</p>
<p>
Add the missing <c>record_name_prefix</c> compiler option
to the documentation.</p>
