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 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

This patch replaces the fork+exec by posix_spawn on wordexp, which
allows a better scability on Linux and simplifies the thread
cancellation handling.
The only change which can not be implemented with posix_spawn the
/dev/null check to certify it is indeed the expected device. I am
not sure how effetive this check is since /dev/null tampering means
something very wrong with the system and this is the least of the
issues. My view is the tests is really out of the place and the
hardening provided is minimum.
If the idea is still to provide such check, I think a possibilty
would be to open /dev/null, check it, add a dup2 file action, and
close the file descriptor.
Checked on powerpc64le-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.
* include/spawn.h (__posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen): New
prototype.
* posix/spawn_faction_addopen.c (posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen):
Add internal alias.
* posix/wordexp.c (create_environment, free_environment): New
functions.
(exec_comm_child, exec_comm): Use posix_spawn instead of fork+exec.
* posix/wordexp-test.c: Use libsupport.
calls with constant strings shows a small (~10%) performance gain, strdup is
typically used in error reporting code, so not performance critical.
Remove the now unused __need_malloc_and_calloc related defines from stdlib.h.
Rename existing uses of str(n)dup to __str(n)dup so it no longer needs to be
redirected to a builtin. Also building GLIBC with -Os now no longer shows
localplt or linkname space failures (partial fix for BZ #15105 and BZ #19463).

POSIX requires that we make a copy, so we allocate a new string
and free it in posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy.
