an int constant to a long constant. This change improves consistency
in the following two ways:
1. The first 8 arguments are always passed in registers on ia64, which
by virtue of the generated code implicitly widens ints to longs and
allows the use of an 32-bit integral type for 64-bit arguments.
Subsequent arguments are passed onto the memory stack, which does
not exhibit the same behaviour and consequently do not allow this.
In practice this means that variadic functions taking pointers
and given NULL (without cast) work as long as the NULL is passed
in one of the first 8 arguments. A SIGSEGV is more likely the
result if such would be done for stack-based arguments. This is
due to the fact that the upper 4 bytes remain undefined.
2. All 64-bit platforms that FreeBSD supports, with the obvious
exception of ia64, allow 32-bit integral types (specifically NULL)
when 64-bit pointers are expected in variadic functions by way of
how the compiler generates code. As such, code that works correctly
(whether rightfully so or not) on any platform other than ia64, may
fail on ia64.
To more easily allow tweaking of the definition of NULL, this commit
removes the 12 definitions in the various headers and puts it in a
new header that can be included whenever NULL is to be made visible.
This commit fixes GNOME, emacs, xemacs and a whole bunch of ports
that I don't particularly care about at this time...
send strhash(3) off to sleep with the fishes. Nothing in our tree uses it.
It has no documentation. It is nonstandard and in spite of the filename
strhash.c and strhash.h, it lives in application namespace by providing
compulsory global symbols hash_create()/hash_destroy()/hash_search()/
hash_traverse()/hash_purge()/hash_stats() regardless of whether you
#include <strhash.h> or not. If it turns out that there is a huge
application for this after all, I can repocopy it somewhere safer and
we can revive it elsewhere. But please, not in libc!

Fall back to machine/varargs.h for older GCC versions.
Change execvp to be a wrapper around execvP. This is necessary for some
of the /rescue pieces. It may also be more generally applicable as well.

replaced just fine with getpeereid() and the whole code
gets a lot simpler. We don't break the ABI, since all server
programms use __rpc_get_local_uid(), and we just change library
internals.

in the SHARED=symlinks case. Symlinks to directories only work if all the
the necessary headers are in 1 directory, but the necessary headers are
scattered for at least ipfilter headers in <netinet>. This change also
avoids polluting /usr/include with non-headers; the /usr/include hierarchy
is now independent of the setting of SHARED.
