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:

This runs the attached sed script against these files using
a regex which aggressively matches long double literals
when not obviously part of a comment.
Likewise, 5 digit or less integral constants are replaced
with integer constants, excepting the two cases of 0 used
in large tables, which are also the only integral values
of the form x.0*E0L encountered within these converted
files.
Likewise, -L(x) is transformed into L(-x).
Naturally, the script has a few minor hiccups which are
more clearly remedied via the attached fixup patch. Such
hiccups include, context-sensitive promotion to a real
type, and munging constants inside harder to detect
comment blocks.
Add a layer of macro indirection for long double files
which need to be built using another typename. Likewise,
add the L(num) macro used in a later patch to override
real constants.
These macros are only defined through the ldbl-128
math_ldbl.h header, thereby implicitly restricting
these macros to machines which back long double
with an IEEE binary128 format.
Likewise, appropriate changes are made for the few
files which indirectly include such ldbl-128 files.
These changes produce identical binaries for s390x,
aarch64, and ppc64.
As noted in bug 6803, scalbn fails to set errno on overflow and
underflow. This patch fixes this by making scalbn an alias of ldexp,
which has exactly the same semantics (for floating-point types with
radix 2) and already has wrappers that deal with setting errno,
instead of an alias of the internal __scalbn (which ldexp calls).
Notes:
* Where compat symbols were defined for scalbn functions, I didn't
change what they point to (to keep the patch minimal), so such
compat symbols continue to go directly to the non-errno-setting
functions.
* Mike, I didn't do anything with the IA64 versions of these
functions, where I think both the ldexp and scalbn functions already
deal with setting errno. As a cleanup (not needed to fix this bug)
however you might want to make those functions into aliases for
IA64; there is no need for them to be separate function
implementations at all.
* This concludes the fix for bug 6803 since the scalb and scalbln
cases of that bug were fixed some time ago.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc.
