This patch removes the --enable-oldest-abi configure option, which has
long been bitrotten (as reported in bug 6652). The principle of
removing this option was agreed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-07/msg00174.html>.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries other
than libc.so are unchanged by this patch and that libc.so disassembly
and symbol versions are unchanged (debug info changes because of
changed line numbers in csu/version.c).

* Makeconfig (soversions-default-setname): Remove variable.

soversions.awk.

Continuing the process of making non-ex-ports architectures follow the
preferred sysdeps practices followed by ex-ports architectures - that
is, putting things in architecture-specific sysdeps files rather than
having architecture-specific cases in architecture-independent files -
this patch moves architecture cases out of
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac into (new or existing) configure
fragments for each architecture. (In the case of the
arch_minimum_kernel setting for x32,
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/configure already has such a
setting so the setting in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac was a
duplicate that could just be removed - though I haven't tested for
x32.)
Tested for x86_64 and x86 that the patch causes no changes to the
installed shared libraries or ldd (or any part of the installation
except for the parts that always change because the files contain
timestamps - nscd and static libraries).

This patch increases the minimum Linux kernel version for glibc to
2.6.32, as discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00511.html>.
This patch just does the minimal change to arch_minimum_kernel
settings (and LIBC_LINUX_VERSION, which determines the minimum kernel
headers version, as it doesn't make sense for that to be older than
the minimum kernel that can be used at runtime). Followups would be
expected to do, roughly and not necessarily precisely in this order:
* Remove __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION checks in kernel-features.h files
where those checks are always true / always false for kernels 2.6.32
and above.
* Otherwise simplify/improve conditionals in those files (for example,
where defining once in the main file then undefining in
architecture-specific files makes things clearer than having lots of
separate definitions of the same macro), possibly fixing in the
process cases where a macro should optimally have been defined for a
given architecture but wasn't. (In the review in preparation for
this version increase I checked what the right conditions should be
for all macros in the main kernel-features.h whose definitions there
would have been affected by the increase - but I only fixed that
subset of the issues found where --enable-kernel=2.6.32 would have
caused a kernel feature to be wrongly assumed to be present, not any
cases where a feature is not assumed but could be assumed.)
* Remove conditionals on __ASSUME_* where they can now be taken to be
always-true, and the definitions when the macros are only used in
Linux-specific files.
* Split more architectures out of the main kernel-features.h (like
ex-ports architectures), once various of the architecture
conditionals there have been eliminated so the new
architecture-specific files are no larger than actually necessary.
Tested x86_64.
