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.

This ensures strerror() and friends continue to work correctly even if a
(non-PIE) executable linked against an older libc imports sys_errlist (which
causes sys_errlist to refer to the executable's copy with a size fixed when
that executable was linked).
The executable's use of sys_errlist remains broken because it uses the
current value of sys_nerr and may access past the bounds of the array.
Different from the message "Using sys_errlist from executables is not
ABI-stable" on freebsd-arch, this change does not affect the static library.
There seems no reason to prevent overriding the error messages in the static
library.
This allows people to still write statically linked applications that
call strchr() or strrchr() and have a local variable or function called
index.
Discussed with: bde@
As I looked through the C library, I noticed the FreeBSD MIPS port has a
hand-written version of index(). This is nice, if it weren't for the
fact that most applications call strchr() instead.
Also, on the other architectures index() and strchr() are identical,
meaning we have two identical pieces of code in the C library and
statically linked applications.
Solve this by naming the actual file strchr.[cS] and let it use
__strong_reference()/STRONG_ALIAS() to provide the index() routine. Do
the same for rindex()/strrchr().
This seems to make the C libraries and static binaries slightly smaller,
but this reduction in size seems negligible.

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!

Of course, strerror_r() may still fail with ERANGE.
Although the POSIX specification said this could fail with EINVAL and
doing this likely indicates invalid use of errno, most other
implementations permitted it, various POSIX testsuites require it to
work (matching the older sys_errlist array) and apparently some
applications depend on it.

- Use word-sized test for unaligned pointer before working
the hard way.
Memory page boundary is always integral multiple of a word
alignment boundary. Therefore, if we can access memory
referenced by pointer p, then (p & ~word mask) must be also
accessible.
- Better utilization of multi-issue processor's ability of
concurrency.
The previous implementation utilized a formular that must be
executed sequentially. However, the ~, & and - operations can
actually be caculated at the same time when the operand were
different and unrelated.
The original Hacker's Delight formular also offered consistent
performance regardless whether the input would contain
characters with their highest-bit set, as it catches real
nul characters only.
These two optimizations has shown further improvements over the
previous implementation on microbenchmarks on i386 and amd64 CPU
including Pentium 4, Core Duo 2 and i7.

implementations inspired by the ones in DragonFly. Unlike the
DragonFly versions, these have a small data cache footprint, and my
tests show that they're never slower than the old code except when the
charset or the span is 0 or 1 characters. This implementation is
generally faster than DragonFly until either the charset or the span
gets in the ballpark of 32 to 64 characters.
