                    210:     liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
                    211:     arguments, not ints (signedness).  execvp had a buffer overflow in
                    212:     case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
                    213:     problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
                    214:     value anyway.
1.219     fefe      215:     hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217     fefe      216:   Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214     fefe      217:   Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
                    218:     three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215     fefe      219:   I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it.  For gcc 3,
                    220:     it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216     fefe      221:   Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
                    222:     size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218     fefe      223:   Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220     olaf      224:   Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
                    225:     libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
                    226:     because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221     fefe      227:   tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field.  Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222     fefe      228:   Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
                    229:     don't write anything which was no longer the case.  It also
                    230:     allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223     fefe      231:   Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209     fefe      232: 
1.193     fefe      233: 0.13:
1.194     fefe      234:   add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199     fefe      235:   make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207     fefe      236:   Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196     leitner   237:   me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197     leitner   238:   res_query did not initialize last
1.199     fefe      239:   diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198     leitner   240:   fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199     fefe      241:   duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200     fefe      242:   fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201     fefe      243:   rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205     fefe      244:   Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204     fefe      245:     make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
                    246:     fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
                    247:     fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
                    248:       bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205     fefe      249:     fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204     fefe      250:   fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
                    251:     Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205     fefe      252:   added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206     fefe      253:   make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208     fefe      254:   remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193     fefe      255: 
1.164     fefe      256: 0.12:
                    257:   more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165     fefe      258:   iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167     fefe      259:   Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166     fefe      260:   Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
                    261:     routines to make them smaller.
1.168     fefe      262:   add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170     fefe      263:   several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168     fefe      264:     add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169     fefe      265:   add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)

1.172     fefe      267:   add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173     fefe      268:   several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174     fefe      269:   add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175     fefe      270:   add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)

                    273:   add a few more module syscalls.  modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
                    274:   fix gethostent alias list termination.  Major oops.
1.178     fefe      275:   add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).

                    280:     If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
                    281:     external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc.  So,
                    282:     when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
                    283:     glibc, the linker will barf.  This will bloat your object files, but
                    284:     you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
                    285:     the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182     fefe      286:   fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183     fefe      287:   add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
                    288:   do the same for getgrent and getspent
                    289:   remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184     fefe      290:   rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185     fefe      291:   add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186     fefe      292:   rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187     fefe      293:   Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker.  It's a clean-room
                    294:     implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
                    295:     room ;)
1.188     fefe      296:   add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
                    297:   fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
                    298:     longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189     fefe      299:   changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
                    300:     LONG_MIN will work correctly.  (GNU tar does this)
1.190     fefe      301:   fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
                    302:   add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
                    303:   add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191     fefe      304:   fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192     fefe      305:   added real make install target
1.164     fefe      306: 
1.115     fefe      307: 0.11:
                    308:   fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).

                    313:   add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
                    314:   try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
                    315:     initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119     fefe      316:   fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120     fefe      317:   I wrote a new getopt.  It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
                    318:     compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
                    319:     a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121     fefe      320:   Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
                    321:     broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
                    322:     I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122     fefe      323:   Fix regexec offset return.  autoconf now believes that diet libc has
                    324:     POSIX regular expressions.
1.123     fefe      325:   Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124     fefe      326:   Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125     fefe      327:   Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|).  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.

1.128     fefe      330:   Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
                    331:   initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
                    332:   remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129     fefe      333:   added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
                    334:     warning.
1.131     fefe      335:   started getting rid of kernel headers.  Big task! :-(
1.130     fefe      336:   add res_mkquery.  The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132     olaf      337:   Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
                    338:     startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
                    339:     too)
1.134     fefe      340:   __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
                    341:     Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133     olaf      342:   Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
                    343:     also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135     fefe      344:   crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136     fefe      345:   implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137     fefe      346:   fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
                    347:     not work as delimiter)
1.138     fefe      348:   errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143     fefe      349:   added mkdtemp.
1.142     fefe      350:   Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
                    351:     ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
                    352:     realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
                    353:     putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
                    354:     popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
                    355:     fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
                    356:     bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
                    357:       behavior.
                    358:     system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
                    359:     popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147     fefe      360:     daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
                    361:     perror did not save errno.
1.144     olaf      362:   Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
                    363:     same problem.
                    364:     Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is

1.145     fefe      366:   Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled.  I will try to
                    367:     implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146     fefe      368:   Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148     fefe      369:   Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149     fefe      370:   Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use

1.161     olaf      387:   Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
                    388:     legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163     fefe      389:   Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
                    390:     iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
                    391:     Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115     fefe      392: 
1.74      fefe      393: 0.10:
                    394:   update getpagesize.
                    395:   add personality.
1.75      fefe      396:   add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76      fefe      397:   add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
                    398:     with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77      fefe      399:   import include/scsi/ from glibc.

1.84      fefe      409:   added getpass.  mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
                    410:   fix the sig*set routines.  mount actually works now *bg*
                    411:   fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85      fefe      412:   added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).

1.97      fefe      428:   add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
                    429:     together support for %.2f.  Don't look at the code, please!
1.98      fefe      430:   fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing!  Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99      fefe      431:   imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100     fefe      432:   add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)

                    435:   my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102     fefe      436:   wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
                    437:     bytes, not the buffer)
                    438:   add realpath.

1.110     fefe      448:   implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
                    449:     dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111     fefe      450:   add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112     fefe      451:   fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113     fefe      452:   RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken.  Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
                    453:     for sending a patch.

1.74      fefe      457: 
1.73      fefe      458: 0.9:

                    461:   imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67      fefe      462:   add fnmatch
                    463:   change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68      fefe      464:   Olaf added character classes to *scanf.

1.65      fefe      471: 
1.64      fefe      472: 0.8:
1.34      fefe      473:   vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
                    474:     incorrectly.
1.35      fefe      475:   new reboot() from Olaf.

1.41      fefe      480:   added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
                    481:     insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42      fefe      482:   added qsort() and bsearch().  Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
                    483:     glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
                    484:     diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
                    485:     I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43      fefe      486:   added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
                    487:   added popen() and pclose().  Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
                    488:     S-Lang!)
1.44      fefe      489:   corrected usleep.  It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45      fefe      490:   corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
                    491:   several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46      fefe      492:   added ungetc (does it work?)

                    499:   add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52      fefe      500:   add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53      olaf      501:   Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54      fefe      502:   Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file.  I put it in contrib and hope
                    503:     everbody knows what to do with it...
                    504:   Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55      fefe      505:   added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56      fefe      506:   add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
                    507:     kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57      fefe      508:   added shutdown
1.58      fefe      509:   added nice
                    510:   added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
                    511:     isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc).  So, for example, liblatin1 can
                    512:     overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59      fefe      513:   added liblatin1.a
1.60      fefe      514:   added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61      fefe      515:   added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62      fefe      516:   Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
                    517:     Thanks!
1.63      fefe      518:   merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34      fefe      519:

                    521:   added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
                    522:     <sys/reboot.h>.  Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22      fefe      523:   added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls.  Thanks to
                    524:     Abraham again.  He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
                    525:     an ugly BSD hack.  I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
                    526:     little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
                    527:     and daemon() ;-)
                    528:   added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there.  The
                    529:     idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
                    530:     libraries anyway.
1.26      fefe      531:   optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27      fefe      532:   added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
                    533:     limits.h instead)
                    534:   added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
                    535:     lzop and bzip2.
1.28      fefe      536:   added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
                    537:   Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31      fefe      538:     format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29      fefe      539:   added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
                    540:   added gmtime and gmtime_r.

1.30      fefe      542:   removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31      fefe      543:   removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32      fefe      544:   oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33      fefe      545:   Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21      fefe      546: 
1.9       fefe      547: 0.7.1:
1.11      fefe      548:   optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
                    549:   optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
                    550:   added system (by Olaf).
1.12      fefe      551:   added tolower and toupper
1.13      fefe      552:   added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)

                    554:   fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15      olaf      555:   added pause for all (by Olaf).

1.16      fefe      557:   added isupper and islower.
                    558:   added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17      fefe      559:   added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
                    560:     insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18      fefe      561:   added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19      fefe      562:   oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20      fefe      563:   oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
                    564:     Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9       fefe      565: 
                    566: 0.7:
1.6       olaf      567:   clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1       cvs       568:   Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
                    569:   We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
                    570:   added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
                    571:     vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2       fefe      572:   imported readdir fix from Guillaume.  Mhh, can the kernel interface
                    573:     really be this broken?
1.3       fefe      574:   Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
                    575:     stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO).  If this does
                    576:     not work for you, please tell me!
1.4       fefe      577:   Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7       fefe      578:   Fixed stdio line buffering.  The code was already there but I forgot
                    579:     to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered.  This should really be
                    580:     done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8       fefe      581:   Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1       cvs       582: 
                    583: 0.6.14:

                    585:   added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
                    586:   did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
                    587:   repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
                    588:     supported).
                    589:   [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume.  Thanks!]
                    590:   added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
                    591: 
                    592: 0.6.13:
                    593:   included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
                    594:     GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL).  That means that
                    595:     you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
                    596:     libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
                    597:   The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
                    598:     noticed until now!  Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
                    599:     this!
                    600:   The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
                    601:     segfault.  Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
                    602: 
                    603: 0.6.12:
                    604:   added assert, statfs and fstatfs
                    605:   added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
                    606: 
                    607: 0.6.11:

                    609: 
                    610: 0.6.10:
                    611:   fixed fwrite.  It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
                    612:     of records.  Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
                    613:   fixed fgets.  It returned EOF on empty lines.  Thanks, Erik Frey.
                    614:   added brk and sbrk.  harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
                    615: 
                    616: 0.6.9:
                    617:   fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
                    618:   did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
                    619:     The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
                    620:   fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
                    621:   fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
                    622:   fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)

                    624: 0.6.8:
                    625:   Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
                    626:     mips and arm.  I did the one for ppc.  They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
                    627:   added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
                    628:   added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
                    629:   added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
                    630:   added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h.  Most of the
                    631:     string routines have been unrolled.  This is up to three times as
                    632:     fast but creates up to three times larger code.  Now you can disable
                    633:     the unrolling.
                    634:   added sendfile.
                    635:   I also added pread.  It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
                    636:     I have no idea what's going on.  strace disagrees with the kernel.
                    637:     Can anyone help?  I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
                    638:   added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open.  nm on
                    639:     libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
                    640: 
                    641: 0.6.7:
                    642:   the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
                    643:   printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL.  This can be
                    644:     removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
                    645:   added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
                    646:   stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
                    647:     __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
                    648:     stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
                    649:     struct stat.  So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
                    650:     dietlibc headers.
                    651: 
                    652: 0.6.6:
                    653:   changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
                    654:   added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
                    655:   Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
                    656:   Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
                    657:     more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms!  It also
                    658:     looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
                    659:   added a "real" stdio.  Well, almost.  Please contribute!
                    660:   added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
                    661:   removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
                    662:   stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
                    663:   stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
                    664:     stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
                    665: 
                    666: 0.6.5:
                    667:   Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
                    668:     most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
                    669:     functions.
                    670:   Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
                    671:     several bugs.
                    672:   Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
                    673:   Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
                    674: 
                    675: 0.6.4:
                    676:   declared is* static inline in getservent.
                    677:   added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
                    678:   changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
                    679:   new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS.  Thanks to Olaf the Mad
                    680:     Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
                    681:     box, just from reading the architecture manual.  And it worked out
                    682:     of the box.
                    683:   started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
                    684:     my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
                    685:     glibc).  diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
                    686:     from a normal libc.  The includes do declare more than diet libc
                    687:     currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
                    688:     applications.
                    689:   I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
                    690:     the C version.  Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
                    691:     very often and are substantially faster.
                    692:   added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
                    693:     version.  It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
                    694:     proton (thanks, anyway).
                    695:   added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
                    696:   "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
                    697: 
                    698: 0.6.3:
                    699:   added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
                    700:   added isblank
                    701:   added atol
                    702: 
                    703: 0.6.2:
                    704:   mmap for ARM didn't compile.  Thanks, Paul!
                    705: 
                    706: 0.6.1:
                    707:   split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
                    708:   getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
                    709:   Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
                    710: 
                    711: 0.6:
                    712:   strcat returned the wrong result.  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
                    713:   strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
                    714:   Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
                    715:     __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
                    716:   The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code.  That means that
                    717:     the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
                    718:     non-PIC.  I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
                    719:     Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
                    720:   I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
                    721:     VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically.  That should
                    722:     simplify the sources greatly.
                    723:   Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
                    724:   ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
                    725:   "compile" and "load" are now make targets.  Use them for djb programs.
                    726:   added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
                    727:     Again, contributed from Olaf.  Great work!
                    728: 
                    729: 0.5.12:
                    730:   printf also does signed numbers.
                    731:   If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
                    732:   *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
                    733:   Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
                    734:   If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
                    735:     return the number of bytes it would have written.
                    736:   Initial MIPS port!   (Oh, the agony!)
                    737:     No setjmp and longjmp support yet!  Please contribute!
                    738:   I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS.  Still, MIPS code is
                    739:     almost twice the size of SPARC code.  If anyone knows why: please
                    740:     tell me!
                    741: 
                    742: 0.5.11:
                    743:   I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
                    744:     on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
                    745:     subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
                    746:   A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
                    747:     2864 bytes on sparc
                    748:     2488 bytes on intel
                    749:   I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
                    750:     to make a few more applications work.
                    751:   Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
                    752:   He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
                    753:     costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
                    754:   I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
                    755:   I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite).  Now we can add
                    756:     floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
                    757: 
                    758: 0.5.10:
                    759:   I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
                    760:     the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
                    761:     arguments) except for setting the system call number.  All those
                    762:     system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
                    763:     I got rid of x86openclose again.  The savings are substantial:
                    764:     chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
                    765:     If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
                    766:     even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
                    767:     anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
                    768:     system call!)
                    769: 
                    770: 0.5.9:
                    771:   added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
                    772:   fixed strdup
                    773:   fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
                    774:   Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
                    775:     (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
                    776:     supporting octal, hex and decimal).  Thanks, Olaf!  (by the way:
                    777:     that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
                    778:     Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
                    779:     automatically pads pointers with '0'.
                    780:   Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
                    781:   Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
                    782:   The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
                    783:   64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
                    784:     [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
                    785:   Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
                    786:     speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
                    787:   For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
                    788:     errno handling.  This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
                    789:     few bytes.  I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
                    790:     all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
                    791: 
                    792: 0.5.8:
                    793:   fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
                    794: 
                    795:   added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
                    796:   memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
                    797:   strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
                    798:   contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
                    799: 
                    800:   added execvp, getcwd
                    801: 
                    802:   fixed __xmknod
                    803: 
                    804:   Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
                    805:   cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
                    806:   structure?  I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
                    807:   not follow symlinks.
                    808: 
                    809: 0.5.7:
                    810:   oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
                    811: 
                    812: 0.5.6:
                    813:   ported to ppc-linux.
                    814:   fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
                    815:   included sigjmp.c
                    816: 
                    817: 0.5.5:
                    818:   added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
                    819:   actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
                    820:   I fixed it now.
                    821:   dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
                    822:   fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
                    823: 
                    824: 0.5.4:
                    825:   ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only).  Beware: does not work yet.
                    826:   added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
                    827: 
                    828: 0.5.3:
                    829:   added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
