Joseph Myers 0dcbf4c870 Run conform/ tests using newly built libc
Although the conform/ header tests are built using the headers of the
glibc under test, the execution tests from conformtest (a few tests of
the values of macros evaluating to string constants) are linked and
run with system libc, not the newly built libc.

Apart from preventing testing in cross environments, this can be a
problem even for native testing.  Specifically, it can be useful to do
native testing when building with a cross compiler that links with a
libc that is not the system libc; for example, on x86_64, you can test
all three ABIs that way if the kernel support is present, even if the
host OS lacks 32-bit or x32 libraries or they are older than the
libraries in the sysroot used by the compiler used to build glibc.
This works for almost all tests, but not for these conformtest tests.

Arrange for conformtest to link and run test programs similarly to
other tests, with consequent refactoring of various variables in
Makeconfig to allow passing relevant parts of the link-time command
lines down to conformtest.  In general, the parts of the link command
involving $@ or $^ are separated out from the parts that should be
passed to conformtest (the variables passed to conformtest still
involve various variables whose names involve $(@F), but those
variables simply won't be defined for the conformtest makefile rules
and I think their presence there is harmless).

This is also most of the support that would be needed to allow running
those tests of string constants for cross testing when test-wrapper is
defined.  That will also need changes to where conformtest.py puts the
test executables, so it puts them in the main object directory
(expected to be shared with a test system in cross testing) rather
than /tmp (not expected to be shared) as at present.

Tested for x86_64.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arc*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2

	i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu

	powerpc-*-linux-gnu	Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
	powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu	Big-endian and little-endian.

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
