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 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found

[RS6000] Don't pass -many to the assembler
glibc builds are failing when an assembly implementation does not
declare the correct '.machine' directive, or when no such directive is
declared at all. For example, when a POWER6 instruction is used, but
'.machine power6' is not declared, the assembler will fail with an error
similar to the following:
../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power8/strcmp.S: Assembler messages:
24 ../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power8/strcmp.S:55: Error: unrecognized opcode: `cmpb'
This patch adds '.machine powerN' directives where none existed, as well
as it updates '.machine power7' directives on POWER8 files, because the
minimum binutils version required to build glibc (binutils 2.25) now
provides this machine version. It also adds '-many' to the assembler
command used to build tst-set_ppr.c.
Tested for powerpc, powerpc64, and powerpc64le, as well as with
build-many-glibcs.py for powerpc targets.

If the input values are unaligned and if there are null characters in the
memory before the starting address of the input values, strcasecmp
gives incorrect return code. Fixed it by adding mask the bits that
are not part of the string.
This implementation utilizes vectors to improve performance
compared to current byte by byte implementation for POWER7.
The performance improvement is upto 4x. This patch is tested
on powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
