Change Details

Turns out there's two hidden a.out dependencies. pxeldr.S assumes it has access to the a.out header from /boot/loader and cdboot.S assumes that /boot/loader is also a.out and doesn't use boot2. So, go back to making a.out files for these and adjust the size checks to use ls, but we only need to check loader.bin. Trim the size we check against by 2,000. The difference in size between laoder and laoder.bin is about 3000 bytes, but clang15 produces binaries that are a smidge bigger so we need to relax the check just a little and accept some additional risk for the moment.

Add some comments to loader's Makefile about this. Sponsored by: Netflix
