This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py use Linux 5.0 in place of 4.20
(now that the test change required to avoid false positives with ulong
in kernel headers has been committed). This includes adjusting the
logic to compute a tarball URL to handle different major version
numbers (rather than changing the path to hardcode v5.x in place of
v4.x, as someone might still wish to check out a v4.x version).
Tested that build-many-glibcs.py successfully checks out Linux 5.0
sources after this patch.

version to 5.0.

Mach does not support IP_RECVERR, so replace this function with a

inttypes.h and stdint.h are in sysdeps/generic, but there are no other
versions of these headers anywhere in the source tree, so they aren’t
actually system-dependent. Move them to the subdirectory that
installs them (stdlib).

The test for obsolete typedefs in installed headers was implemented
using grep, and could therefore get false positives on e.g. “ulong”
in a comment. It was also scanning all of the headers included by
our headers, and therefore testing headers we don’t control, e.g.
Linux kernel headers.
This patch splits the obsolete-typedef test from
scripts/check-installed-headers.sh to a separate program,
scripts/check-obsolete-constructs.py. Being implemented in Python,
it is feasible to make it tokenize C accurately enough to avoid false
positives on the contents of comments and strings. It also only
examines $(headers) in each subdirectory--all the headers we install,
but not any external dependencies of those headers. Headers whose
installed name starts with finclude/ are ignored, on the assumption
that they contain Fortran.
It is also feasible to make the new test understand the difference
between _defining_ the obsolete typedefs and _using_ the obsolete
typedefs, which means posix/{bits,sys}/types.h no longer need to be
exempted. This uncovered an actual bug in bits/types.h: __quad_t and
__u_quad_t were being used to define __S64_TYPE, __U64_TYPE,
__SQUAD_TYPE and __UQUAD_TYPE. These are changed to __int64_t and
__uint64_t respectively. This is a safe change, despite the comments
in bits/types.h claiming a difference between __quad_t and __int64_t,
because those comments are incorrect. In all current ABIs, both
__quad_t and __int64_t are ‘long’ when ‘long’ is a 64-bit type, and
‘long long’ when ‘long’ is a 32-bit type, and similarly for __u_quad_t
and __uint64_t. (Changing the types to be what the comments say they
are would be an ABI break, as it affects C++ name mangling.) This
patch includes a minimal change to make the comments not completely
wrong.
sys/types.h was defining the legacy BSD u_intN_t typedefs using a
construct that was not necessarily consistent with how the C99 uintN_t
typedefs are defined, and is also too complicated for the new script to
understand (it lexes C relatively accurately, but it does not attempt
to expand preprocessor macros, nor does it do any actual parsing).
This patch cuts all of that out and uses bits/types.h's __uintN_t typedefs
to define u_intN_t instead. This is verified to not change the ABI on
any supported architecture, via the c++-types test, which means u_intN_t
and uintN_t were, in fact, consistent on all supported architectures.

Starting with commit 1616d034b6
the output was corrupted on some platforms as _dl_procinfo
was called for every auxv entry and on some architectures like s390
all entries were represented as "AT_HWCAP".
This patch is removing the condition and let _dl_procinfo decide if
an entry is printed in a platform specific or generic way.
This patch also adjusts all _dl_procinfo implementations which assumed
that they are only called for AT_HWCAP or AT_HWCAP2. They are now just

wcsmbs: optimize wcscat
powerpc64 and powerpc64le builds fail when configured with
--disable-multi-arch and --with-cpu=power6 (or newer), due to an
undefined reference to __GI___wcscpy. This patch fixes this on
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power6/wcscpy.c, which is only used when
multi-arch is disabled.
This patch does nothing for the failures on 32-bits powerpc builds,
because the file is under the powerpc64 subdirectory, however, powerpc
builds were already failing with --disable-multi-arch, with multiple
error messages, even before the aforementioned commit.
Tested for powerpc, powerpc64, and powerpc64le with multi-arch enabled
(all pass) and disabled (powerpc still fails as explained above).
Set the default function alignment to 16 bytes in order to
get rid of some unwanted performance effects.

This patch adds test cases for the compatibility versions of the
functions: err, errx, verr, verrx, warn, warnx, vwarn, vwarnx (from
err.h), error, and error_at_line (from error.h), when long double has
the same format as double (-mlong-double-64).
Tested for powerpc, powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
On platforms where long double may have the same format as double
(-mlong-double-64), error and error_at_line do not take that into
account and might produce wrong output if a long double conversion is
requested by the format string ('%Lf'). This patch adds compatibility
functions for this situation and redirects calls via header magic.
Tested for powerpc, powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
When support for long double format with 128-bits (-mlong-double-128)
was added for platforms where long double had the same format as double,
such as powerpc, compatibility versions for the functions listed in the
commit title were missed. Since the older format of long double can
still be used (with -mlong-double-64), using these functions with a
format string that requests the printing of long double variables will
produce wrong outputs.
This patch adds the missing compatibility functions and header magic to
redirect calls to them when -mlong-double-64 is in use.
Tested for powerpc, powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
The test case tst-ldbl-argp checks that the conversion specifier '%Lf'
correctly prints long double values with the default long double format
for a platform. This patch reuses the test case for long double with
the same format as double (-mlong-double-64).
Tested for powerpc, powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
The functions argp_error and argp_failure are missing support for
printing long double values when long double has the same format as
double. This patch adds the new functions __nldbl_argp_error and
__nldbl_argp_failure, as well as header magic to redirect calls to them
when -mlong-double-64 is in use.
Tested for powerpc, powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
It is possible that the link editor injects an allocated ABI tag note
before the artificial, allocated large note in the test. Note parsing
in open_verify stops when the first ABI tag note is encountered, so if
the ABI tag note comes first, the problematic code is not actually
exercised.
Also tweak the artificial note so that it is a syntactically valid
4-byte aligned note, in case the link editor tries to parse notes and
process them.
Improves the testing part of commit 0065aaaaae.

Since the introduction of explicit flags in the internal implementation
of the printf family of functions, the 'mode' parameter can be used to
select which format long double parameters have (with the mode flag:
PRINTF_LDBL_IS_DBL). This patch uses this feature in the implementation
of some functions in argp.h, err.h, and error.h (only those that take a
format string and positional parameters). Future patches will add
support for 'nldbl' and 'ieee128' versions of these functions.
