* elf/dl-deps.c (_dl_map_object_deps): Fix cycle detection. Use
uint16_t for elements in the "seen" array to avoid char overflows.
* elf/dl-fini.c (_dl_sort_fini): Likewise.
* elf/dl-open.c (dl_open_worker): Likewise.

When converting IBM930 code with iconv(), if IBM930 code which
includes invalid multibyte character "0xffff" is specified, then
iconv() segfaults. This is easy to see using the following command:
echo '0x0e 0x43 0x8c 0xff 0xff 0x43 0xbd 0x43 0xbd' | xxd -r |
iconv -f IBM930 -t UTF-8

A new class of installed headers has been documented for low-level
platform-specific functionality. PowerPC added the first instance with a
function to provide time base register access (__ppc_get_timebase). This
is required for applications that measure time at high frequencies with
high precision that can't afford a syscall.
As of January 1st 2009, the "new" prefix was removed from the New
Turkish lira, its official name becoming "Turkish lira" again,
abbreviated "TL".
Patch by <gokcen@pardus.org.tr>.
When a stack is marked executable due to loading a DSO that requires
an executable stack, the logic tends to leave out a portion of stack
after the first frame, thus causing a difference in the value returned
by pthread_getattr_np before and after the stack is marked
executable. It ought to be possible to fix this by marking the rest of
the stack as executable too, but in the interest of marking as less of
the stack as executable as possible, the path this fix takes is to
make pthread_getattr_np also look at the first frame as the underflow
end of the stack and compute size and stack top accordingly.
The above happens only for the main process stack. NPTL thread stacks
are not affected by this change.
There is nothing in the POSIX specification to disallow a
single-threaded program from cancelling itself, so we forcibly enable
multiple_threads to allow the next available cancellation point in the
thread to run.
Also added additional tests to cover various cancellation scenarios.

Do not build manual anymore in the source dir. Also clean up the
Makefile and remove rules that have been used previously
when we had a stand-alone Makefile which was obsoleted recently.
Mention that ia64 has moved into ports/, and drop the old build/install
details that don't belong in the NEWS file in the first place.

POSIX 2008 states that if the input for 'logb[f|l]' is a subnormal number
it should be treated as if it were normalized. This means the
implementation should calculate the log2 of the mantissa and add it to the
subnormal exponent (-126 for float and -1022 for double and IBM long
double). This patch takes care of that.
