No references to any of these exist in the tree. The list was also
erratic with different architectures exporting different things
(arm64 and riscv exported none).

Previously, libc.so would initialize its notion of the break address
using _end, a special symbol emitted by the static linker following
the bss section. Compatibility issues between lld and ld.bfd could
cause the wrong definition of _end (libc.so's definition rather than
that of the executable) to be used, breaking the brk()/sbrk()
interface.
Avoid this problem and future interoperability issues by simply not
relying on _end. Instead, modify the break() system call to return
the kernel's view of the current break address, and have libc
initialize its state using an extra syscall upon the first use of the
interface. As a side effect, this appears to fix brk()/sbrk() usage
in executables run with rtld direct exec, since the kernel and libc.so
no longer maintain separate views of the process' break address.

Originally, on the VAX exect() enable tracing once the new executable
image was loaded. This was possible because tracing was controllable
through user space code by setting the PSL_T flag. The following
instruction is a system call that activated tracing (as all
instructions do) by copying PSL_T to PSL_TP (trace pending). The
first instruction of the new executable image would trigger a trace
fault.
This is not portable to all platforms and the behavior was replaced with
ptrace(PT_TRACE_ME, ...) since FreeBSD forked off of the CSRG repository.
Platforms either incorrectly call execve(), trigger trace faults inside
the original executable, or do contain an implementation of this
function.
The exect() interfaces is deprecated or removed on NetBSD and OpenBSD.

i386 stopped exporting .cerror in r240152, and likewise for amd64 in
r240178. It is not used by other libraries on any platform, so apply
the same change to the remaining architectures.

working MI one. The MI one only needs to be overridden on machines
with non-IEEE754 arithmetic. (The last supported one was the VAX.)
It can also be overridden if someone comes up with a faster one that
actually passes the regression tests -- but this is harder than it sounds.
