is sufficiently aligned for the width of the memory accesses that we
do. This also eliminates all suspicious and potentionally harmful
casts.

FreeBSD machine. To do this add the man 1 uname changes to __xuname.c
so we can override the settings it reports. Add OSVERSION override
to getosreldate. Finally which Makefile.inc1 to use uname -m instead
of sysctl -n hw.machine_arch to get the arch. type.
With these change you can put a complete FreeBSD OS image into a
chroot set:
UNAME_s=FreeBSD
UNAME_r=4.7-RELEASE
UNAME_v="FreeBSD $UNAME_r #1: Fri Jul 22 20:32:52 PDT 2005 fake@fake:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FAKE"
UNAME_m=i386
UNAME_p=i386
OSVERSION=470000
on an amd64 or i386 and it just work including building ports and using
pkg_add -r etc. The caveat for this example is that these patches
have to be applied to FreeBSD 4.7 and the uname(1) changes need to
be merged. This also addresses issue with libtool.
This is usefull for when a build machine has been trashed for an
old release and we want to do a build on a new machine that FreeBSD
4.7 won't run on ...
instance, the dreaded shared memory problem in PostgreSQL coming back to
haunt you after a binary update.

plain file bsdlabel(8) always writes label at a fixed offset from
its beginning (512 bytes), regardless of the sector size. At the same
time, bsdlabel geom class expects label to be available at the very
beginning of the second sector.
As a result, images prepared in userland for media with sector size
different from 512 bytes (i.e. 2k for cdroms) are not recognized by
the tasting mechanism.
Solve the problem by always looking for the label at 512-byte offset
if we can't find it at the beginning of the second sector and sector
size is not 512 bytes.

k_tanf.c but with different details.
The polynomial is odd with degree 13 for tanf() and odd with degree
9 for sinf(), so the details are not very different for sinf() -- the
term with the x**11 and x**13 coefficients goes awaym and (mysteriously)
it helps to do the evaluation of w = z*z early although moving it later
was a key optimization for tanf(). The details are different but simpler
for cosf() because the polynomial is even and of lower degree.
On Athlons, for uniformly distributed args in [-2pi, 2pi], this gives
an optimization of about 4 cycles (10%) in most cases (13% for sinf()
on AXP, but 0% for cosf() with gcc-3.3 -O1 on AXP). The best case
(sinf() with gcc-3.4 -O1 -fcaller-saves on A64) now takes 33-39 cycles
(was 37-45 cycles). Hardware sinf takes 74-129 cycles. Despite
being fine tuned for Athlons, the optimization is even larger on
some other arches (about 15% on ia64 (pluto2) and 20% on alpha (beast)
with gcc -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer).
cosf(x) is supposed to return something like x when x is a NaN, and
we actually fairly consistently return x-x which is normally very like
x (on i386 and and it is x if x is a quiet NaN and x with the quiet bit
set if x is a signaling NaN. Rev.1.10 broke this by normalising x to
fabsf(x). It's not clear if fabsf(x) is should preserve x if x is a NaN,
but it actually clears the sign bit, and other parts of the code depended
on this.
The bugs can be fixed by saving x before normalizing it, and using the
saved x only for NaNs, and using uint32_t instead of int32_t for ix
so that negative NaNs are not misclassified even if fabsf() doesn't
clear their sign bit, but gcc pessimizes the saving very well, especially
on Athlon XPs (it generates extra loads and stores, and mixes use of
the SSE and i387, and this somehow messes up pipelines). Normalizing
x is not a very good optimization anyway, so stop doing it. (It adds
latency to the FPU pipelines, but in previous versions it helped except
for |x| <= 3pi/4 by simplifying the integer pipelines.) Use the same
organization as in s_sinf.c and s_tanf.c with some branches reordered.
These changes combined recover most of the performance of the unfixed
version on A64 but still lose 10% on AXP with gcc-3.4 -O1 but not with
gcc-3.3 -O1.
