non-PIC libgcc.a. Linking non-pic code into a shared library is not
a good thing. It happens to break amd64 at compile time, and the ppc
folks want it too. The problem is mainly with C++ code, unwind-dw2.c
in particular. Most of the other functions in libgcc.a are self
contained so most of the time it isn't a problem. The dwarf2 unwinder
is not safe though since it does make global variable references.

give the cvs tree a surviving a 'make world'. One of the two diff chunks
is already in gcc-3.3, the other has been committed to gcc's HEAD and
is in the pipeline for gcc-3.3.1 (but has not been committed yet).
The first chunk simplifies an excessively complex assembler statement
when generating switch jump tables. The use of '.' causes as(1) to choke
on big files. Use a simpler form instead. This is only an issue for
TARGET_64BIT mode.
The second chunk fixes an internal compiler error when compiling
libc/stdio/vfprinf.c. While this is supposedly only an issue for
64 bit mode, it does touch the 32 bit i386 code paths, so this patch
is only applied for TARGET_ARCH == amd64 to keep the risks down.
Breaking gcc at the 11th hour would suck.
This will be removed when it is time to import gcc-3.3.

shared library being built for amd64. The problem is that libstdc++.so
is produced with 'cc -shared'. This has an internal -lgcc, which is
not PIC. libstdc++.so uses exceptions and the dwarf2 unwinder, which
are in libgcc.a. As a result, non-PIC code gets pulled into libstdc++.so.
This is fatal on amd64 when certain relocation types cannot be used in
PIC mode. The official FSF solution to this is to have libgcc.so with
internal ELF symbol versioning to solve the ABI problem, but I dont want
to fight that battle yet. I tried making libgcc_pic.a (which worked
fine), but thats not something for the 11th hour before a release.

As far as binutils is concerned, the amd64 platform is still called
"x86-64"/"x86_64". Setting things from ${MACHINE_ARCH} breaks that.

not to blindly undef isnan() and other functions that became macros in C99.
Enable use of newly grown C99 functions: strtof(), strtold(), wcstof()
