We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

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

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/sysdep.h
(GAS_ALIGN_BREAKS_UNWIND_INFO): Define this macro to indicate
that all existing GAS versions have a problem with .align inside
a function.
* sysdeps/ia64/memccpy.S: Work around GAS_ALIGN_BREAKS_UNWIND_INFO bug.
* sysdeps/ia64/memcpy.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/ia64/memset.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/ia64/memmove.S: Likewise. Also move the jump-table to
out of .text into .rodata, where it belongs.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/pipe.S: There is no need to
save/restore input-arguments, because they're necessarily
preserved by the kernel to support syscall-restart.

determining the position of the found character.

* sysdeps/ia64/memccpy.S: Use speculatively loads for readahead to
avoid segfaults when reading from unmapped pages. For aligned
reload and continue, for misaligned, roll back and use byte copy.
Save ar.ec on entry and restore on exit.
