glibc has an add-ons mechanism to allow additional software to be
integrated into the glibc build. Such add-ons may be within the glibc
source tree, or outside it at a path passed to the --enable-add-ons
configure option.
localedata and crypt were once add-ons, distributed in separate
release tarballs, but long since stopped using that mechanism.
Linuxthreads was always an add-on. Ports spent some time as an add-on
with separate release tarballs, then was first moved into the glibc
source tree, then had its sysdeps files moved into the main sysdeps
hierarchy so the add-ons mechanism was no longer used. NPTL spent
some time as an add-on in the main glibc tree before stopping using
the add-on mechanism. libidn used to have separate release tarballs
but no longer does so, but still uses the add-ons mechanism within the
glibc source tree. Various other software has supported building with
the add-ons mechanism at times in the past, but I don't think any is
still widely used.
Add-ons involve significant, little-used complexity in the glibc build
system, and make it hard to understand what the space of possible
glibc configurations is. This patch removes the add-ons mechanism.
libidn is now built via the Subdirs mechanism to cause any
configuration using sysdeps/unix/inet to build libidn; HAVE_LIBIDN
(which effectively means shared libraries are available) is now
defined via sysdeps/unix/inet/configure. Various references to
add-ons around the source tree are removed (in the case of maint.texi,
the example list of sysdeps directories is still very out of date).
Externally maintained ports should now put their files in the normal
sysdeps directory structure rather than being arranged as add-ons;
they probably need to change e.g. elf.h anyway, rather than actually
being able to work just as a drop-in subtree. Hurd libpthread should
be arranged similarly to NPTL, so some files might go in a
hurd-pthreads (or similar) top-level directory in glibc, while sysdeps
files should go in the normal sysdeps directory structure (possibly in
hurd or hurd-pthreads subdirectories, just as there are nptl
subdirectories in the sysdeps tree).

When configuring and building GNU libc using the Mozilla NSS library
for cryptography (--enable-nss-crypt option), also include the
NSPR header files along with the Mozilla NSS library header files.
Finally, when running the check-local-headers test, ignore the
Mozilla NSPR library header files (used by the Mozilla NSS library).
Current implementation of tunables does not set arena_max and arena_test
values. Any value provided by glibc.malloc.arena_max and
glibc.malloc.arena_test parameters is ignored.
These tunables have minval value set to 1 (see elf/dl-tunables.list file)
and undefined maxval value. In that case default value (which is 0. see
scripts/gen-tunables.awk) is being used to set maxval.
For instance, generated tunable_list[] entry for arena_max is:
(gdb) p *cur
$1 = {name = 0x7ffff7df6217 "glibc.malloc.arena_max",
type = {type_code = TUNABLE_TYPE_SIZE_T, min = 1, max = 0},
val = {numval = 0, strval = 0x0}, initialized = false,
security_level = TUNABLE_SECLEVEL_SXID_IGNORE,
env_alias = 0x7ffff7df622e "MALLOC_ARENA_MAX"}
As a result, any value of glibc.malloc.arena_max is ignored by
TUNABLE_SET_VAL_IF_VALID_RANGE macro
__type min = (__cur)->type.min; <- initialized to 1
__type max = (__cur)->type.max; <- initialized to 0!
if (min == max) <- false
{
min = __default_min;
max = __default_max;
}
if ((__type) (__val) >= min && (__type) (val) <= max) <- false
{
(__cur)->val.numval = val;
(__cur)->initialized = true;
}
Assigning correct min/max values at a build time fixes a problem.
Plus, a bit of optimization: Setting of default min/max values for the
given type at a run time might be eliminated.
* elf/dl-tunables.c (do_tunable_update_val): Range checking fix.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Set unspecified minval and/or maxval
values to correct default value for given type.
This patch updates build-many-glibcs.py to use the current release
branch of binutils and current releases of GMP and the Linux kernel.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default
binutils version to 2.29 branch, GMP version to 6.1.2 and Linux
kernel version to 4.12.
Awk 3.1.x does not support multi-dimensional arrays, so fix up to make
sure that gen-tunables.awk works on it.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Avoid multi-dimensional arrays.
Add LD_HWCAP_MASK to tunables in preparation of it being removed from
rtld.c. This allows us to read LD_HWCAP_MASK much earlier so that it
can influence IFUNC resolution in aarch64.
This patch does not actually do anything other than read the
LD_HWCAP_MASK variable and add the tunables way to set the
LD_HWCAP_MASK, i.e. via the glibc.tune.hwcap_mask tunable. In a
follow-up patch, the _dl_hwcap_mask will be replaced with
glibc.tune.hwcap_mask to complete the transition.
* elf/dl-tunables.list: Add glibc.tune.hwcap_mask.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Include dl-procinfo.h.
* manual/tunables.texi: Document glibc.tune.hwcap_mask.
This patch makes the glibc build generate an additional header
ldbl-compat-choose.h that defines LONG_DOUBLE_COMPAT_CHOOSE_* macros
for each libc and libm symbol, which select one or the other of their
arguments based on whether the symbol was added before a change to
long double != double.
The effect of this is that it is then possible to define a macro
maybe_long_double_symbol that automatically acts as either
long_double_symbol or weak_alias depending on when the symbol being
defined was added. This can be used when building long double
functions from type-generic templates. Thus, with this patch ldbl-opt
no longer needs special long double implementations of each new libm
function added using such a template, and the existing such
implementations are removed.
This is a step towards being able more generally to use common macros
to create all the aliases needed for a libm function, so reducing the
amount of special-case code needed in ldbl-opt and ldbl-64-128, and
facilitating subsequently adding *f32 / *f64 / *f128 / *f32x / *f64x
aliases to existing functions (where the set of aliases that a
function should have may depend on the architecture in various ways).
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py. Except for on
powerpc64le-linux-gnu, installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch. powerpc64le-linux-gnu is the unique
configuration which used ldbl-opt from the start rather than adding a
new long double choice after originally only having had long double =
double. The effect of the patch there is that various cases that
previously used long_double_symbol unconditionally now use weak_alias
instead, so .os files contain e.g. a symbol cabsl instead of
cabsl@@GLIBC_2.17. The final dynamic symbols and versions in the
resulting shared libraries are unchanged (ABI tests pass), as is the
disassembly of the shared libraries, but the differences in the .os
files still result in different .gnu_hash contents in libm.so; the
differences are of no significance and logically using weak_alias is
what's most appropriate in those cases.

This patch arranges for the glibc build to generate a header
first-versions.h that defines macros for the earliest symbol version
in which each public symbol (GLIBC_[0-9]* symbol version, name only
uses C identifier characters) is available.
This is used in sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-opt/math-type-macros-double.h to
replace the manually defined LDOUBLE_*_libm_version macros for various
functions defined using type-generic templates, the purpose of which
is to use in LONG_DOUBLE_COMPAT tests "was this function originally
added before glibc supported long double != double on this platform?".
As discussed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-12/msg00246.html>, I expect
this to be useful more generally in reducing the amount of
special-case code needed in ldbl-opt and ldbl-64-128.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by this patch.

tunable that it would be initialized to.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Recognize 'default' keyword in
dl-tunables.list.
* README.tunables: Document it.
As of now we don't need tunables to be writable after they have been
set initially, so there is no point in having them writable. Put
tunable_list in .data.rel.ro so that it is set as read-only after
relocation. This also allows us to move some of the dl_* variables
that are tunables controlled into the tunables infrastructure instead
of having two copies.
In future if we ever need specific tunables to be writable at runtime,
we can split the tunable_list into two.
Regression tested on x86_64 to verify that tests continue to pass.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Add attribute_relro to
tunable_list.
Now there is a GCC 7 release branch, this patch makes
build-many-glibcs.py default to using it instead of GCC 6.
Relative to GCC 6, this fixes the MicroBlaze build but introduces ICEs
building glibc testcases for SH (GCC PRs 78459, 78460; the latter is
an out-of-memory issue so you may want to set memory limits when
running build-many-glibcs.py).
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default gcc
version to 7 branch.
Since commit 8b9e9c3c0b, security_level replaces

* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Updated the code related to the commit.
glibc headers include some code (not particularly consistent or
systematic) to put various declarations in C++ namespaces std and
__c99, if _GLIBCPP_USE_NAMESPACES is defined.
As noted in <https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2017-03/msg00025.html>,
this macro was removed from libstdc++ in 2000. I don't expect
compilation with such old versions of libstdc++ to work with current
glibc headers anyway (whereas old *binaries* are expected to stay
working with current glibc); this patch (which should be a no-op with
any libstdc++ version postdating that removal) removes all this code
from the glibc headers.
The begin-end-check.pl test, whose comments say it is about checking
these namespace macro calls, is also removed. The code in that test
would have covered __BEGIN_DECLS / __END_DECLS as well, but if those
weren't properly matched it would show up with the
check-installed-headers-cxx tests, so I don't think there is an actual
use for keeping begin-end-check.pl with the namespace code removed.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped
shared libraries are unchanged by the patch).

Now with d40dbe7 SH build does not require more the no_isolate gcc
options to correct build glibc (since SH build now does not generate
a trap anymore). This patch removes the unrequired options from
SH config.
Checked with a build for sh3-linux-gnu, sh3eb-linux-gnu, sh4-linux-gnu,
and sh4eb-linux-gnu.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Remove

The 'bot-cycle' action for build-many-glibcs is a convenient way to

bot_config does not contain all of the necessary email-
related settings, just print a warning and continue.
Florian Weimer pointed out that we have three different kinds of
environment variables (and hence tunables):
1. Variables that are removed for setxid processes
2. Variables that are ignored in setxid processes but is passed on to
child processes
3. Variables that are passed on to child processes all the time
Tunables currently only does (2) and (3) when it should be doing (1)
for MALLOC_CHECK_. This patch enhances the is_secure flag in tunables
to an enum value that can specify which of the above three categories
the tunable (and its envvar alias) belongs to.
The default is for tunables to be in (1). Hence, all of the malloc
tunables barring MALLOC_CHECK_ are explicitly specified to belong to
category (2). There were discussions around abolishing category (2)
completely but we can do that as a separate exercise in 2.26.
Tested on x86_64 to verify that there are no regressions.

A recent build-many-glibcs.py build
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-testresults/2017-q1/msg00067.html> ran
into what proves to be an old known bug
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42980> with parallel
install of GCC (one which as discussed there might require automake
changes to fix). This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py avoid such
intermittent failures from parallel install by using -j1 for GCC make
install (the code in question also applies to binutils make install,
but it doesn't seem worth trying to avoid -j1 there; the builds and
installs of different toolchains are still fully parallel with each
other, this is only about the case when there are few enough of those
that multiple jobs can get used within a single make install).
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Config.build_cross_tool): Use -j1
for make install.
I used this patch to run the new build script with python3.2, it may be worth
adding this hack if python3.5 is not widespread (might work with older python,
i haven't tested that).
This patch make build-many-glibcs.py work with python 3.2 by
adding fallback implementation to python 3.5 facilities if they
are not present.
Checked building a x86_64-linux-gnu toolchain with python 3.2.

The 32-bit powerpc configurations in build-many-glibcs.py were failing
to cover the powerpc32 multiarch code at all, because that code is
only built for power4 and above configurations. This patch adds a
32-bit power4 configuration so that at least some of that multiarch
code gets build-tested. (This is preparation for reviewing the w_*
file renaming, which affects such powerpc32 multiarch files.)
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
power4 glibc for powerpc-linux-gnu.
Now that a release branch exists for binutils 2.28, this patch makes
build-many-glibcs.py use that by default in place of 2.27.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default
binutils version to 2.28 branch.
The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global
variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has
instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables.
Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables
configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a
framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are
read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc
behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the
compatibility interface.
* manual/install.texi: Add --enable-tunables option.

This patch updates texinfo.tex and various miscellaneous scripts to

When build-many-glibcs.py re-execs itself with execv, any buffered
output on stdout may be lost (in particular, messages intended to go
to a bot's log about the re-exec taking place). This patch makes it
flush stdout before execv, similar to the flush before running a
subprocess from the bot that is done to ensure output appears in the
right order.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.exec_self): Flush stdout
before calling execv.
This patch updates build-many-glibcs.py to use Linux 4.9 for kernel
headers unless another version is explicitly specified. Note that
when a version changes like this you'll need to use --replace-sources
when updating an existing checkout to tell build-many-glibcs.py it's
OK to delete and replace the sources of a component for which the
version used has changed.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default Linux
kernel version to 4.9.
For many years, the only effect of these macros has been to make
unistd.h declare getlogin_r. _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199506L also causes
this function to be declared. However, people who don't carefully
read all the headers might be confused into thinking they need to
define _REENTRANT for any threaded code (as was indeed the case a long
time ago).
Therefore, remove __USE_REENTRANT, and make _REENTRANT and _THREAD_SAFE
into synonyms for _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L. This will only affect
programs that don't select a higher conformance level some other way.
For instance, -std=c89 -D_REENTRANT will see a change in visible
declarations, but -std=c99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -D_REENTRANT won't,
and -D_REENTRANT all by itself also won't, because _DEFAULT_SOURCE
implies _POSIX_C_SOURCE > 199506.
* include/features.h: Remove __USE_REENTRANT. Treat _REENTRANT
and _THREAD_SAFE the same as _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L, if a higher
POSIX conformance level has not been selected by other macros.
* NEWS, manual/creature.texi: Document this change.
* posix/unistd.h, posix/bits/unistd.h: Don't check __USE_REENTRANT.
* include/libc-symbols.h: Don't define _REENTRANT.
* scripts/check-installed-headers.sh: Don't undefine _REENTRANT.
This patch adds pretty printers for the following NPTL types:
- pthread_mutex_t
- pthread_mutexattr_t
- pthread_cond_t
- pthread_condattr_t
- pthread_rwlock_t
- pthread_rwlockattr_t
To load the pretty printers into your gdb session, do the following:
python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/glibc/build/nptl/pretty-printers')
end
source /path/to/glibc/source/pretty-printers/nptl-printers.py
You can check which printers are registered and enabled by issuing the
'info pretty-printer' gdb command. Printers should trigger automatically when
trying to print a variable of one of the types mentioned above.
The printers are architecture-independent, and were tested on an AMD64 running
Ubuntu 14.04 and an x86 VM running Fedora 24.
In order to work, the printers need to know the values of various flags that
are scattered throughout pthread.h and pthreadP.h as enums and #defines. Since
replicating these constants in the printers file itself would create a
maintenance burden, I wrote a script called gen-py-const.awk that Makerules uses
to extract the constants. This script is pretty much the same as gen-as-const.awk,
except it doesn't cast the constant values to 'long' and is thorougly documented.
The constants need only to be enumerated in a .pysym file, which is then referenced
by a Make variable called gen-py-const-headers.
As for the install directory, I discussed this with Mike Frysinger and Siddhesh
Poyarekar, and we agreed that it can be handled in a separate patch, and shouldn't
block merging of this one.
In addition, I've written a series of test cases for the pretty printers.
Each lock type (mutex, condvar and rwlock) has two test programs, one for itself
and other for its related 'attributes' object. Each test program in turn has a
PExpect-based Python script that drives gdb and compares its output to the
expected printer's. The tests run on the glibc host, which is assumed to have
both gdb and PExpect; if either is absent the tests will fail with code 77
(UNSUPPORTED). For cross-testing you should use cross-test-ssh.sh as test-wrapper.
I've tested the printers on both native builds and a cross build using a Beaglebone
Black running Debian, with the build system's filesystem shared with the board
through NFS.
Finally, I've written a README that explains all this and more.

This patch adds a --strip option to build-many-glibcs.py, to make it
strip the installed shared libraries after installation. This is for
convenience if you want to compare installed stripped shared libraries
before and after a patch that was not meant to result in any code
changes: you can run with this option, copy the install/glibcs
directory, run again with the patch and compare the */lib*
subdirectory contents.
(It might make sense for the option to strip libraries in other
directories, including stripping debug information from static
libraries, with a view to making it possible for a
no-generated-code-changes patch to result in completely identical
install/glibcs directories, so simplifying comparison, though that may
need other build determinism changes, e.g. to build deterministic .a
files.)
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.__init__): Take strip
argument.
(Glibc.build_glibc): Strip installed shared libraries if
requested.
(get_parser): Add --strip option.
(main): Update Context call.
This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py support a "bot" action, for
repeatedly running a checkout and build cycle.
Two new configuration variables are used in bot-config.json. "delay"
indicates the time to sleep after each bot-cycle round (regardless of
whether that round actually ran any builds); "run" is a boolean, which
is false if the bot should just exit (the point of this is that you
can edit bot-config.json to set this to false to cause a running bot
to exit cleanly between builds) and true if the bot should run. The
bot does not exit if the bot-cycle process exits with error status
(that can occur when sourceware's load limiting means anonymous
version control access fails, for example), just sleeps until it's
time to try again.
The script is changed to flush stdout before running a subprocess in
bot-cycle, so that when output is redirected (as expected for a bot)
the status messages from bot-cycle appear in their proper position in
its redirected output relative to the output from the subprocesses
run, and to copy the logs directory before running builds in bot-cycle
so that the logs from at least one complete build are always available
for looking at how something failed, even while the next build is
running.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py: Add bot to usage message. Import
time module.
(Context.__init__): Initialize self.logsdir_old.
(Context.run_builds): Handle bot action.
(Context.bot_cycle): Copy logs directory before running builds.
(Context.bot_run_self): Take argument for whether to check
subprocess result. Flush stdout before running subprocess.
(Context.bot): New function.
(get_parser): Allow bot action.
This patch continues the process of setting up build-many-glibcs.py to
run as a bot monitoring for and reporting on build issues by adding a
bot-cycle action to the script. When this action is used, it will run
the checkout action (re-execing itself if it was changed by that
action), then rebuild whichever of host-libraries, compilers, glibcs
should be rebuilt based on changed versions, time elapsed and state of
previous builds. Email is sent with the results of the build (for
each build action done).
The rebuild logic is: if previous build time or versions aren't
recorded, rebuild that component. If the script has changed, rebuild
everything. If any relevant component version has changed, rebuild,
except for not rebuilding compilers if the time indicated in the bot
configuration has not passed since the last build of the compilers.
If one piece is rebuilt then rebuild subsequent pieces as well.
Using bot-cycle requires a configuration file bot-config.json in the
toplevel directory used by build-many-glibcs.py. It might contain
e.g.
{
"compilers-rebuild-delay": 604800,
"email-from": "Example Name <user@example.org>",
"email-server": "localhost",
"email-subject": "GCC 6 %(action)s %(build-time)s build results",
"email-to": "libc-testresults@sourceware.org"
}
My next intended step is adding a further action "bot" which loops
running bot-cycle then sleeping for an amount of time given in
bot-config.json. Then I'll set up a bot using that action (building
with GCC 6 branch; a bot using GCC mainline may wait until the SH
out-of-memory issues
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=78460> are fixed; I
expect the bot to mail to me until it seems ready to switch to mailing
to gcc-testresults).

Import email.mime.text, email.utils and smtplib modules.

This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py store information about builds
in JSON format. This is part of preparing it for use in a bot
checking for regressions.
The information stored is: time of last build (of host-libraries,
compilers or glibcs); versions of components used in the last build
(for compilers, host library versions are properly copied from those
used for the previous host-libraries build, and for glibcs, component
versions other than that of glibc are similarly copied from the last
compilers build); PASS/FAIL/UNRESOLVED results of the individual build
steps; a list of changed results; a list of tests (that are still run
at all) that have ever been recorded to PASS.
The first pieces of information are intended to be used by a bot to
decide whether a rebuild is appropriate (based on some combination of
elapsed time and changes to versions; a bot might want to rebuild
glibcs if there had been any change but only rebuild compilers after
enough time had elapsed, for example). All the information is
intended to be used in generating mails with results information.
This state is specifically for full builds (no individual configs for
building compilers or glibcs specified). If individual configs are
specified, build-time and build-versions information is cleared (since
it will no longer accurately reflect the install directory contents),
while the other information is left unchanged. This reflects the
motivation of providing information for a bot checking for
regressions; the contents of build-state.json in a tree used for
manual builds that may be only for some configurations are not
particularly important.

Updating build-many-glibcs.py may result in changes to the default
versions of components, or to the set of components (if e.g. Hurd
support is added and that requires a new component).
It's desirable for the checkout process to leave a source tree that is
ready to use. If the checkout updated the script itself, that means
it needs to be rerun to cause any new versions or components
referenced by the new script version to be properly checked out. This
patch makes the script check if it was modified by the checkout
process, and re-exec itself (with the same arguments) if so.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.__init__): Save text of
script being executed.
(Context.get_script_text): New function.
(Context.exec_self): Likewise.
(Context.checkout): Re-exec script if changed by checkout process.
This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py record the component versions
checked out, and whether those versions were explicitly requested or
defaults, in a file versions.json in the source directory.
The preferred version of a component is the first of: one explicitly
specified on the command line; one explicitly specified on the command
line in a previous run of build-many-glibcs.py; a default version for
that component. Thus, once you've run build-many-glibcs.py checkout
once with the updated script (making sure to specify the right
versions of any components previously checked out with a non-default
version), in future you can just run it without version specifiers and
it will know when a default-version component has changed its default
version and so should be checked out again.
Because you might have local changes and not want a default-version
component checkout replaced, you need to pass the --replace-sources
option to allow the script to delete and replace a component source
directory automatically; otherwise, it will give an error if a version
has changed. The script does not try to change branches of git or SVN
checkouts without checking out from scratch; if the version number
requested has changed and --replace-sources is used, the relevant
source directory will be removed completely and a new one checked out
from scratch.
Apart from allowing automatic updates of components with default
versions, this also facilitates bots reporting on the versions used in
a given build. versions.json contains not just information on the
version number and whether that was requested explicitly, but also git
or SVN revision information intended to be used in email reports from
bots.

My most recent build-many-glibcs.py build with GCC mainline showed
build failures for tilepro with the symptoms (multiple definitions of
symbols building ld.so, see the build log referenced in the GCC bug
referenced in the comment for an example) that correspond to the
isolate-erroneous-paths optimization not being suitable for building
glibc unless the GCC port provides a trap pattern (so __builtin_trap
expands to an inline instruction rather than a call to abort). Since
tilepro indeed lacks such as pattern in GCC, this patch duly arranges
for this optimization to be disabled when building for tilepro, as it
is for sh.
Tested (compilation only) for tilepro.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Also use
-fno-isolate-erroneous-paths options for tilepro.
As requested in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00664.html>, this
patch makes the commands recorded in build-many-glibcs.py quote words
so they can be cut-and-pasted back into a shell. (Note that these
logs are generated by the wrapper script generated to run commands
with logs, hence the needs for quoting logic to be implemented in that
shell script.)
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.write_files): Make wrapper
script quote words in command output to log suitably for input to
the shell.
This patch adds the missing GCC configure options required to make use
of the newly built host libraries in build-many-glibcs.py.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Config.build_gcc): Configure with
newly built gmp, mpfr and mpc.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (os.path): Do not import.
(Context): Inherit explicitly from object. Remove blank line
between class and docstring.
(Config): Likewise.
(Glibc): Likewise.
(Command): Likewise.
(CommandList): Likewise.
(Context.write_files): Store chmod mode in a variable.
