if not already defined. This allows building libc from outside of
lib/libc using a reach-over makefile.
A typical use-case is to build a standard ILP32 version and a COMPAT32
version in a single iteration by building the COMPAT32 version using a
reach-over makefile.

load of _l suffixed versions of various standard library functions that use
the global locale, making them take an explicit locale parameter. Also
adds support for per-thread locales. This work was funded by the FreeBSD
Foundation.
Please test any code you have that uses the C standard locale functions!

1. Previously, printing the number 1.0 could produce 0x1p+0, 0x2p-1,
0x4p-2, or 0x8p-3, depending on what happened to be convenient. This
meant that printing a value as a double and printing the same value
as a long double could produce different (but equivalent) results.
The change is to always make the leading digit a 1, unless the
number is 0. This solves the aforementioned problem and has
several other advantages.
2. Use the FPU to do rounding. This is far simpler and more portable
than manipulating the bits, and it fixes an obsure round-to-even
bug. It also raises the exceptions now required by IEEE 754R.
The drawbacks are that it is usually slightly slower, and it makes
printf less effective as a debugging tool when the FPU is hosed
(e.g., due to a buggy softfloat implementation).
3. On i386, twiddle the rounding precision so that (2) works properly
for long doubles.
4. Make several simplifications that are now possible due to (2).
5. Split __hldtoa() into a separate file.
Thanks to remko for access to a sparc64 box for testing.
Note that ULong in this code is actually defined as an unsigned integer across
all arches so that the gdtoa() function always processes 32 bit data
despite the unfortunate naming of "ULong".
this is used by some 3rd party applications when {e,f,g}cvt() are
not found. POSIX defines the xcvt() funtions but says they are
deprecated in favor or sprintf(). We'll import these functions
from OpenBSD and remove __gdtoa() from the exported interfaces
when libc version is bumped.
instead use the FPU to convert subnormals to normals. (NB: Further
simplification is possible, such as using the FPU for the rounding
step.)
This fixes a bug reported by stefanf where long double subnormals in
the Intel 80-bit format would be output with one fewer digit than
necessary when the default precision was used.

nulls out the warning flags rather than adding gcc(1)
specific -w option to CFLAGS.
package, a more recent, generalized set of routines. Among the
changes:
- Declare strtof() and strtold() in stdlib.h.
- Add glue to libc to support these routines for all kinds
of ``long double''.
- Update printf() to reflect the fact that dtoa works slightly
differently now.
As soon as I see that nothing has blown up, I will kill
src/lib/libc/stdlib/strtod.c. Soon printf() will be able
to use the new routines to output long doubles without loss
of precision, but numerous bugs in the existing code must
be addressed first.
