cf6229a854 Build __error.c into libc, but not libc_r. The weak symbol in the
file works with libpthread, but when built into libc_r which has a non-weak
symbol of the same name, the linker behaves unpredicatably and sometimes
links the wrong symbol. The linker behaviour is a byproduct of what
the program calls from object to object so it is like winning a lottery
if the program actually works. The odds are quite good - 95:1, I think.
We need a sure thing, though, so weak symbols can't be used instead
of renaming things.

b37727fff9 sigprocmask()' man page references sigmask()' in synopsis.
Note odd `sigmask()' line in synopsis.  `sigsetops(3)' is better suited
for `sigprocmask' and is already referenced from the manual page.
(`sigmask()' is useful for the older (& deprecated) `sigsetmask()' API).

8a6472b723 Finish _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING. Needs P1003_1B and
_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options to work.  Changes:

Change all "posix4" to "p1003_1b".  Misnamed files are left
as "posix4" until I'm told if I can simply delete them and add
new ones;

Add _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls for FreeBSD and Linux;

Add man pages for _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls;

Add options to LINT;

Minor fixes to P1003_1B code during testing.

20219d9a7b For 1.3, NetBSD replaced the swapon() syscall with swapctl() and moved

a145fea480 For 1.3, NetBSD walloped the msync syscall and replaced it with
__msync13. The old one got moved to compat_12. Wrap __msync13 up
to look like FreeBSD's msync and be careful to respect the fact that
MS_SYNC is 0x0000 on FreeBSD, but 0x0004 on NetBSD.

abd529ceba Yikes, this is the worst of the lot. Bruce suggested doing this (!).
Include the architecture specific sys makefile like previously, but
what this contains differs. It defines MDASM which list architecture
specific asm code that *replaces* syscalls of the same name defined
in MIASM (which gets defined by the syscall.mk or netbsd_syscall.mk
dependent of NETBSD_SYSCALLS being defined). If a syscall has a
C source implementation or something funny done to it, or just doesn't
need default asm source generated for it, then it is listed in NOASM.

syscall.mk is generated by makesyscalls.sh with other syscall files.
netbsd_syscall.mk is a hand-generated equivalent. So if a new syscall
is added and no other makefiles are edited, it will automatically have
the default asm source generated for it (whether you want it or not).

Anything listed in MDASM gets added to SRCS and gets built. For
each syscall name in MIASM, if it doesn't exist in MDASM or NOASM,
it gets added to the ASM or ASMR lists to have code generated for it.
If the syscall name was listed in HIDDEN_SYSCALLS (intended for use
by libc_r, not libc which has it defined, but empty), then the name
is added to the ASMR list and gets renamed before being built;
otherwise it is added to the ASM list and gets built with the same
name.

I wonder if this is too complicated. But it works on both i386 and alpha.
