Zack Weinberg 63fb8f9aa9 Post-cleanup 2: minimize _G_config.h.
Nearly everything in _G_config.h is either junk or more appropriately
defined elsewhere:

 * _G_fpos_t, _G_fpos64_t, and _G_BUFSIZ are already completely unused.
 * All remaining uses of _G_va_list have been changed to __gnuc_va_list.
 * The definition of _G_HAVE_ST_BLKSIZE/_IO_HAVE_ST_BLKSIZE has
   been inlined into its sole use.
 * The complete definition of _G_iconv_t has been moved to libio.h and
   renamed _IO_iconv_t (all actual users used that name).
 * _G_IO_IO_FILE_VERSION is vestigial; some code cares whether
   _IO_stdin_used exists, but nothing looks at its value.  I've
   preserved the value as a hardwired constant in csu/init.c.
   This means csu/init.c no longer needs to include anything.
 * Many of the headers included by _G_config.h were already being
   included directly by either either libio.h or stdio.h; the
   remaining ones were moved to libio.h.
 * _G_HAVE_MREMAP is still relevant, because mremap genuinely is a
   Linux extension; it's not in POSIX and as far as I can tell it's
   not available on the Hurd either.  I also preserved _G_HAVE_MMAP,
   since it's conceivable someone would want to port glibc to a
   MMU-less, mmap-less environment in the future.  Both are now always
   defined to 1/0 as is the current convention, instead of the older
   1/undef convention.  These are the only symbols still defined in
   _G_config.h.
 * The actual inclusion of _G_config.h moves from libio.h to libioP.h,
   as this is where a potential override of _G_HAVE_MMAP happens.
 * The #ifdef logic in libioP.h controlling _IO_JUMPS_OFFSET has been
   simplified.

After this patch, the only surviving _G_ symbols are the struct tag
names _G_fpos_t and _G_fpos64_t, which are preserved for the sake of
C++ mangled names in applications, and _G_HAVE_MMAP and _G_HAVE_MREMAP,
which do not seem worth renaming.

Installed stripped libraries are unchanged by this patch.

	* bits/_G_config.h: Move back to sysdeps/generic/_G_config.h.
	Delete all contents except for definitions of _G_HAVE_MMAP and
	_G_HAVE_MREMAP.  Add commentary explaining those two symbols.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/_G_config.h: Move back to
	sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/_G_config.h.  Make same content
	change as above.

	* libio/libio.h: Don't include bits/_G_config.h here.
	Include stddef.h with __need_wchar_t defined.  Include
	bits/types/__mbstate_t.h, bits/types/wint_t.h, and gconv.h.
	Define _IO_iconv_t here, directly.
	Don't define _IO_HAVE_ST_BLKSIZE.
	* libio/libioP.h: Include _G_config.h here.  Move include of
	shlib-compat.h up with rest of includes.  Simplify conditionals
	controlling definition of _IO_JUMPS_OFFSET.

	* csu/init.c: Remove always-true #if around entire file.
	Don't include stdio.h.  Set _IO_stdin_used to hardwired
	constant 0x20001, and update commentary.
	* include/stdio.h, sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-opt/nldbl-compat.h:
	Replace all uses of _G_va_list with __gnuc_va_list.
	* libio/filedoalloc.c: Use #if defined _STATBUF_ST_BLKSIZE
	instead of #if _IO_HAVE_ST_BLKSIZE.
	* libio/fileops.c: Test _G_HAVE_MREMAP with #if, not #ifdef.
	* libio/iofdopen.c, libio/iofopen.c: Test _G_HAVE_MMAP with #if,
	not #ifdef.

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.  The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.

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
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	hppa-*-linux-gnu
	i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu

	microblaze*-*-linux-gnu
	mips-*-linux-gnu
	mips64-*-linux-gnu
	powerpc-*-linux-gnu	Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
	powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu	Big-endian and little-endian.
	s390-*-linux-gnu
	s390x-*-linux-gnu
	riscv64-*-linux-gnu
	sh[34]-*-linux-gnu

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see http://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 http://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 http://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
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
