List of changes

• US release only (no JP, PAL, or iQue - none of these are near 100% yet).
• Default configure flags: --shift --modern-gcc --non-matching --ccache
• Backtrace (call stack) on crash screen including file names and line numbers.
  • You can call debug_backtrace() to print a backtrace in any function.
  • Failed assertions (ASSERT) will trigger the crash screen and print a backtrace instead of hanging.
  • Backtraces provide filenames and line numbers for files with debug symbols (pass --debug to configure to enable for all files).
• assets/star_rod_build directory for Star Rod to write assets to.
• Fixed many bugs / incorrect behaviour.
• Skip compiling or linking dead code.
• Link with libgcc_vr4300 to provide compiler intrinsics.
