configs/* except classic: rebuild tif_na7_db_{fl,ir} from source The purpose of this change is to allow a TRACEMASK_IN_FFS=1 setting given on the configure line to have effect; all configs except classic are included because this feature setting is orthogonal to the choice of G23M PS version and other config choices. (The classic config is an exception because its very purpose is to preserve a reference config with all of the original blobs.) Note that even though we are switching these TIF libraries from blobs to recompilation from source in all configs, our source for these libs compiles into a perfect match to the original blobs in the current default TRACEMASK_IN_FFS=0 configuration, hence there is no effective change beyond the unfortunate small increase in compilation times.

# TI's original version of the pf_TaskEntry() function in the guts of GPF
# does this number once all GPF tasks have entered their main loop:
#
#    TraceMask[0] = 0;
#
# The effect of this line is that "system" trace output gets disabled;
# in particular, "system primitive" requests like querying for existing
# TRACECLASS of various entities or for the GPF version elicit no response
# whatsoever until one sends a TRACECLASS setting sysprim which restores
# the TC_SYSTEM bit in TraceMask[0].
#
# In FreeCalypso we consider this clearing of TraceMask[0] to be either
# a bug or a misfeature, and we would like to change it.  In the case of
# the GPF code in question, we do have a copy of frame.c source (the module
# where the offending pf_TaskEntry() function is implemented) which we believe
# is the same code as what's in the TCS211 version of GPF, but TCS211 is not
# set up to recompile any part of GPF from source, and there are other modules
# in the same frame_na7_db_ir.lib for which we don't have the original source
# (os_*), hence it is easier to do a binary lib patch.
#
# The present patch is a binary form of:
#
# -TraceMask[0] = 0;
# +TraceMask[0] = TC_SYSTEM;
