No 32-bit system call wrapper is added because the interface
is problematic because it cannot deal with 64-bit inode numbers
and 64-bit directory hashes.
A future commit will deprecate the undocumented getdirentries
and getdirentries64 functions.

The tgkill function is sometimes used in crash handlers.
<bits/signal_ext.h> follows the same approach as <bits/unistd_ext.h>
(which was added for the gettid system call wrapper).

The twalk function is very difficult to use in a multi-threaded
program because there is no way to pass external state to the
iterator function.

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 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.
This commit adds gettid to <unistd.h> on Linux, and not to the
kernel-independent GNU API.
gettid is now supportable on Linux because too many things assume a
1:1 mapping between libpthread threads and kernel threads.

The creation of the divergent sysdeps directory for powerpc64le

powerpc64le: Create divergent sysdep directory for powerpc64le.
allowed float128 to be enabled for powerpc64le (little-endian) and not
for powerpc64 (big-endian). Since the only intended difference between
them was the presence or absence of the float128 interface, the sysdeps
directory for powerpc64le explicitly reused the files from powerpc64
(through the use of Implies files).
Although this works, it also means that files under the powerpc64
directory might be preferred over files under powerpc64le. For
instance, on a build for powerpc64le with target set to power9, a file
from powerpc64/power5 might get built, even though a file with the same
name exists in powerpc64le/power8. That happens because the processor
hierarchy was only defined in the sysdeps directory for powerpc64 (and
borrowed by powerpc64le).
This patch fixes this behavior, by creating new subdirectories under
powerpc64 (i.e.: powerpc64/be and powerpc64/le) and creating new Implies
files to provide the hierarchy of processors for powerpc64 and
powerpc64le separately. These changes have no effect on installed,
stripped binaries (which remain unchanged).
Tested that installed stripped binaries are unchanged and that there are
no regressions on powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
