It may sometimes be desirable to make the dynamic linker only pick up
libraries from the library path and rpath and not look at the
ld.so.cache that ldconfig generates. An example of such a use case is
the glibc testsuite where the dynamic linker must not be influenced by
any external paths or caches.
This change adds a new option --inhibit-ldcache that when used, tells
the dynamic linker to not use ld.so.cache even if it is available.
The proper define to check "am I in a shared lib" is "SHARED", not "PIC".
The two new memset_chk functions incorrectly depend on "PIC".

[BZ #13592]
There are several signed compares of the size argument, whereas
it really is unsigned. Depending on situations e.g. a "memset(ptr, 0,
-1)" segfault (but for the wrong reasons, because jumping into nirvana)
or succeeds even.
In normal use this is harmless, as a size with signbit set indicates
more than half the address space which on x86_64 is impossible to
allocate, but as the size is used to index some jump tables this
potentially could have other unwanted side effects.
[BZ#13926]
Currently __bswap_64 is not defined at all for non-GCC compilers.
Define it but guard it with __GLIBC_HAVE_LONG_LONG.
endian.h uses __bswap_64, make the functions only available
if __GLIBC_HAVE_LONG_LONG is defined.
I've improved the following implementation of memcpy:
"sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/memcpy-ssse3.S".
The patch includes some minor style fixes, but the important part is
just using prefetch loops for the case:
DATA_CACHE_SIZE_HALF <= len < SHARED_CACHE_SIZE_HALF and
src and dst pointers have unequal 16 byte alignments.
This gives from 6% - 50% performance boost on the atom machine, about
24,73% in geometric mean.

There is no problem with strcmp, it doesn't use the YMM registers.
The math routines might since gcc perhaps generates such code.
Introduce bit_YMM_USBALE and use it in the math routines.
Wrong copy algorithm for last bytes, not thread safety.
In some particular cases it uses the destination
memory beyond the string end for
16-byte load, puts changes into that part that is relevant
to destination string and writes whole 16-byte chunk into memory.
I have a test case where the memory beyond the string end contains
malloc/free data, that appear corrupted in case free() updates
it in between the 16-byte read and 16-byte write.
Whenever getaddrinfo needed network interface information it used the
netlink interface to read the information every single time. The
problem is that this information can change at any time.
The patch implements monitoring of the network interfaces through
nscd. If no change is detected the previously read information can
be reused (which is the norm). This timestamp information is also
made available to other processes using the shared memory segment
between nscd and those processes.
