we do not bother making h_errno thread-local since the only interfaces
that use it are inherently non-thread-safe. but still use the
potentially-thread-local ABI to access it just to avoid lock-in.

written to avoid multiple conditional jumps and avoid ugly repetitive
lines in the header file.

this one is for program(s|ers) who haven't heard of uint16_t and
uint32_t (which are obviously the correct types for use in such
situations, as they're the argument/return types for ntohs/htons and
ntohl/htonl).

there's no sense in using a powerful lock in exit, because it will
never be unlocked. a thread that arrives at exit while exit is already
in progress just needs to hang forever. use the pause syscall for this
because it's cheap and easy and universally available.

this is all junk, but some programs use it.

the non-prototype declaration of basename in string.h is an ugly
compromise to avoid breaking 2 types of broken software:

1. programs which assume basename is declared in string.h and thus
would suffer from dangerous pointer-truncation if an implicit
declaration were used.

2. programs which include string.h with _GNU_SOURCE defined but then
declare their own prototype for basename using the incorrect GNU
signature for the function (which would clash with a correct
prototype).

however, since C++ does not have non-prototype declarations and
interprets them as prototypes for a function with no arguments, we
must omit it when compiling C++ code. thankfully, all known broken
apps that suffer from the above issues are written in C, not C++.

backported fix from freebsd:

1. * in BRE is not special at the beginning of the regex or a
subexpression. this broke ncurses' build scripts.

2. \\( in BRE is a literal \ followed by a literal (, not a literal \
followed by a subexpression opener.

3. the ^ in \\(^ in BRE is a literal ^ only at the beginning of the
entire BRE. POSIX allows treating it as an anchor at the beginning of
a subexpression, but TRE's code for checking if it was at the
beginning of a subexpression was wrong, and fixing it for the sake of
supporting a non-portable usage was too much trouble when just
removing this non-portable behavior was much easier.

this patch also moved lots of the ugly logic for empty atom checking
out of the default/literal case and into new cases for the relevant
characters. this should make parsing faster and make the code smaller.
if nothing else it's a lot more readable/logical.

at some point i'd like to revisit and overhaul lots of this code...

updated nextafter* to use FORCE_EVAL, it can be used in many other
places in the math code to improve readability.

apparently initializing a variable is not "using" it but assigning to
it is "using" it. i don't really like this fix, but it's better than
trying to make a bigger cleanup just before a release, and it should
work fine (tested against nsz's math tests).

this only works with gcc 4.6 and later, but it allows us to support
non-default endianness on archs like arm, mips, ppc, etc. that can do
both without having separate header sets for both variants, and it
saves one #include even on fixed-endianness archs like x86.

apparently some packages see stropts.h and want to be able to use
this. the implementation checks that the file descriptor is valid by
using fcntl/F_GETFD so it can report an error if not (as specified).

make nexttoward, nexttowardf independent of long double representation.
fix nextafterl: it did not raise underflow flag when the result was 0.

two issues: (1) the type was wrong (unsigned instead of signed int),
and (2) the value of FP_ILOGBNAN should be INT_MIN rather than INT_MAX
to match the ABI. this is also much more useful since INT_MAX
corresponds to a valid input (infinity). the standard would allow us
to set FP_ILOGB0 to -INT_MAX instead of INT_MIN, which would give us
distinct values for ilogb(0) and ilogb(NAN), but the benefit seems way
too small to justify ignoring the ABI.

note that the macro is just a "portable" (to any twos complement
system where signed and unsigned int have the same width) way to write
INT_MIN without needing limits.h. it's valid to use this method since
these macros are not required to work in #if directives.

this script is not based on autoconf; however it attempts to follow
the same interface contracts for ease of integration with build
systems. it is also not necessary to use musl. manually written
config.mak files are still supported, as is building without any
config.mak at all as long as you are happy with the default options
and you supply at least ARCH on the command line to make.

this change is necessary or pthread_create will always fail on
security-hardened kernels. i considered first trying to make the stack
executable and simply retrying without execute permissions when the
first try fails, but (1) this would incur a serious performance
penalty on hardened systems, and (2) having the stack be executable is
just a bad idea from a security standpoint.

if there is real-world "GNU C" code that uses nested functions with
threads, and it can't be fixed, we'll have to consider other ways of
solving the problem, but for now this seems like the best fix.

these new rules should avoid spurious error messages when the
directory (usually /lib) and the dynamic linker symlink already exist,
and minimize the spam when they can't be created.
