I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
Improve the commentary to aid future developers who will stumble
upon this novel, yet not always perfect, mechanism to support
alternative formats for long double.
Likewise, rename __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 to
__LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI now that development work
has settled down. The command used was
git grep -l __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 ':!./ChangeLog*' | \
xargs sed -i 's/__LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128/__LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI/g'

On platforms where long double has IEEE binary128 format as a third
option (initially, only powerpc64le), many exported functions are
redirected to their __*ieee128 equivalents. This redirection is
provided by installed headers such as stdio-ldbl.h, and is supposed to
work correctly with user code.
However, during the build of glibc, similar redirections are employed,
in internal headers, such as include/stdio.h, in order to avoid extra
PLT entries. These redirections conflict with the redirections to
__*ieee128, and must be avoided during the build. This patch protects
the second redirections with a test for __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128, a
new macro that is defined to 1 when functions that deal with long double
typed values reuses the _Float128 implementation (this is currently only
true for powerpc64le).
Tested for powerpc64le, x86_64, and with build-many-glibcs.py.

My refactoring of long double information
commit 0acb8a2a85
Author: Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com>
Date: Wed Dec 14 18:27:56 2016 +0000
Refactor long double information into bits/long-double.h.
resulted in sparc32 configurations installing the ldbl-opt version of
bits/long-double.h instead of the intended
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc version.
For sparc32 by itself, this is not a problem, since the ldbl-opt
version is correct for sparc32. However, both sparc32 and sparc64 are
supposed to install sets of headers that work for both of them, so
that a single sysroot, whichever order the libraries are built and
installed in, works for both. The effect of having the wrong version
installed is that you end up with a miscompiled sparc64 libstdc++
which fails glibc's configure tests for the C++ compiler.
This patch moves the header from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc to
separate copies of the same file for sparc32 and sparc64, to ensure it
comes before ldbl-opt in the sysdeps directory ordering.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for sparc64-linux-gnu and
sparcv9-linux-gnu.
[BZ #21987]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/bits/long-double.h: Remove file
and copy to ...
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc32/bits/long-double.h:
... here.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64/bits/long-double.h:
... and here.
