It is only possible to do this on an ABI that has a compulsory frame
pointer, which the amd64 ABI does not. Thus, it is only possible to
implement this as a compiler builtin.

binary compatibility with 5.0, but new programs will use the macros.

o Add a MD header private to libc called _fpmath.h; this header
contains bitfield layouts of MD floating-point types.
o Add a MI header private to libc called fpmath.h; this header
contains bitfield layouts of MI floating-point types.
o Add private libc variables to lib/libc/$arch/gen/infinity.c for
storing NaN values.
o Add __double_t and __float_t to <machine/_types.h>, and provide
double_t and float_t typedefs in <math.h>.
o Add some C99 manifest constants (FP_ILOGB0, FP_ILOGBNAN, HUGE_VALF,
HUGE_VALL, INFINITY, NAN, and return values for fpclassify()) to
<math.h> and others (FLT_EVAL_METHOD, DECIMAL_DIG) to <float.h> via
<machine/float.h>.
o Add C99 macro fpclassify() which calls __fpclassify{d,f,l}() based
on the size of its argument. __fpclassifyl() is never called on
alpha because (sizeof(long double) == sizeof(double)), which is good
since __fpclassifyl() can't deal with such a small `long double'.

library/ies, but don't know whether to have them repo-copied
to libc_r or renamed and kept in libc.
Change the name of an alpha macro that was changed with the
system call commit.
HUGE_VAL is not properly aligned on some architectures. The previous
fix now works because the two versions of 'math.h' (include/math.h
and lib/msun/src/math.h) have since been merged into one.

adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.
Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.
Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.
Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.

the number of times I have given this to people and got asked: why isn't
it in libc? It is impossible to do this without assembler glue to reset
the stack for the new child process.
int rfork_thread(flags, stack_addr, start_fnc, start_arg)
int flags; Flags to rfork system call. See rfork(2).
void *stack_addr; Top of stack for thread.
int (*start_fnc)(void *); Address of thread function to call in child.
void *start_arg; Argument to pass to the thread function in child.
This is deliberately not documented or prototyped in includes until the
corresponding alpha version is written.
points. For library functions, the pattern is __sleep() <--
_libc_sleep() <-- sleep(). The arrows represent weak aliases. For
system calls, the pattern is _read() <-- _libc_read() <-- read().
Doing the "right thing" here is difficult, so create two ENTRY points for
each function (for example, __setjmp and setjmp are equivalent). This
isn't pretty, but it works for both aout and ELF.
libc symbol naming needs an overhaul in order to properly support function
wrapping, specifically in the case of a real libpthread, and these
duplicate entry points should be fixed as part of that overhaul.

__setjmp, __longjmp, __sigsetjmp, and __siglongjmp, respectively.
This supports cancellation in the linuxthreads port. In the long run,
a much more comprehensive solution will necessitate more dramatic changes
to libc symbol naming, and these aliases will probably need modification
at that time.
setjmp() gets the jmp_buf pointer from the wrong place (the place
where the return address is) in the shlib case, and uses it (only)
to fetch the current signal mask to address (return_address + 28).
This address is normally read-only (I hope), so the sigprocmask()
call has no effect except to return an error code.

-----------------------------
Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha
and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the
new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the
new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c
The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the
new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG
signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not
be a problem because current applications don't use any
signals higher than NSIG.
There are version bumps for the following libraries:
libdialog
libreadline
libc
libc_r
libedit
libftpio
libss
These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures
visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and
may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries
that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate
issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the
new range to its fullest.
NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been
given one now.
NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for
the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after
doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one
to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer.
According to good taste this means that I will receive a
badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled,
drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)
NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The
change cause sys/types to be included along the way which
contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider
this a solution, but more a workaround.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
