                    367:     numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
                    368:     offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
                    369:     not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
                    370:     SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.

1.211     fefe      376:   Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so

                    384:     arguments, not ints (signedness).  execvp had a buffer overflow in
                    385:     case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
                    386:     problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known

1.215     fefe      392:   I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it.  For gcc 3,
                    393:     it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216     fefe      394:   Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
                    395:     size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.

1.222     fefe      401:   Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
                    402:     don't write anything which was no longer the case.  It also
                    403:     allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223     fefe      404:   Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209     fefe      405: 
1.193     fefe      406: 0.13:

1.204     fefe      418:     make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
                    419:     fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
                    420:     fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
                    421:       bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205     fefe      422:     fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204     fefe      423:   fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)

1.208     fefe      427:   remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193     fefe      428:

                    434:     routines to make them smaller.
1.168     fefe      435:   add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170     fefe      436:   several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168     fefe      437:     add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169     fefe      438:   add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171     fefe      439:   add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172     fefe      440:   add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).

1.174     fefe      442:   add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175     fefe      443:   add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)

                    453:     If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
                    454:     external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc.  So,
                    455:     when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
                    456:     glibc, the linker will barf.  This will bloat your object files, but
                    457:     you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
                    458:     the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182     fefe      459:   fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183     fefe      460:   add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent

                    462:   remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184     fefe      463:   rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185     fefe      464:   add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186     fefe      465:   rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187     fefe      466:   Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker.  It's a clean-room
                    467:     implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
                    468:     room ;)
1.188     fefe      469:   add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
                    470:   fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
                    471:     longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189     fefe      472:   changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
                    473:     LONG_MIN will work correctly.  (GNU tar does this)
1.190     fefe      474:   fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
                    475:   add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
                    476:   add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191     fefe      477:   fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192     fefe      478:   added real make install target
1.164     fefe      479: 
1.115     fefe      480: 0.11:
                    481:   fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116     fefe      482:   fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117     fefe      483:   add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
                    484:   add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0

                    486:   add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
                    487:   try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
                    488:     initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119     fefe      489:   fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120     fefe      490:   I wrote a new getopt.  It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
                    491:     compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
                    492:     a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121     fefe      493:   Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
                    494:     broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
1.463     leitner   495:     I wonder how many programmers have produced off-by-one errors here...
1.122     fefe      496:   Fix regexec offset return.  autoconf now believes that diet libc has
                    497:     POSIX regular expressions.
1.123     fefe      498:   Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124     fefe      499:   Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125     fefe      500:   Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|).  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.

1.128     fefe      503:   Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
                    504:   initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
                    505:   remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129     fefe      506:   added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
                    507:     warning.
1.131     fefe      508:   started getting rid of kernel headers.  Big task! :-(
1.130     fefe      509:   add res_mkquery.  The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132     olaf      510:   Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
                    511:     startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
                    512:     too)
1.134     fefe      513:   __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
                    514:     Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133     olaf      515:   Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
                    516:     also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135     fefe      517:   crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136     fefe      518:   implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137     fefe      519:   fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
                    520:     not work as delimiter)
1.138     fefe      521:   errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143     fefe      522:   added mkdtemp.
1.142     fefe      523:   Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
                    524:     ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
                    525:     realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
                    526:     putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
                    527:     popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
                    528:     fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
                    529:     bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
                    530:       behavior.
                    531:     system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
                    532:     popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147     fefe      533:     daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
                    534:     perror did not save errno.
1.144     olaf      535:   Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
                    536:     same problem.
                    537:     Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
                    538:     now implemented.
1.145     fefe      539:   Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled.  I will try to
                    540:     implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146     fefe      541:   Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148     fefe      542:   Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149     fefe      543:   Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use

1.150     fefe      545:   Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these

1.158     fefe      554:   Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.

1.161     olaf      560:   Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
                    561:     legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163     fefe      562:   Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
                    563:     iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
                    564:     Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115     fefe      565: 
1.74      fefe      566: 0.10:

1.76      fefe      570:   add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
                    571:     with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77      fefe      572:   import include/scsi/ from glibc.

                    599:   add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).

1.97      fefe      601:   add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
                    602:     together support for %.2f.  Don't look at the code, please!

                    608:   my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102     fefe      609:   wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
                    610:     bytes, not the buffer)
                    611:   add realpath.

1.109     fefe      620:   add killpg
1.110     fefe      621:   implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
                    622:     dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111     fefe      623:   add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112     fefe      624:   fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113     fefe      625:   RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken.  Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
                    626:     for sending a patch.
1.114     fefe      627:   add getserv*.
                    628:   add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
                    629:     "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74      fefe      630: 
1.73      fefe      631: 0.9:
1.65      fefe      632:   fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66      fefe      633:   Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
                    634:   imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67      fefe      635:   add fnmatch
                    636:   change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)

1.71      fefe      642:   Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72      fefe      643:   localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65      fefe      644: 
1.64      fefe      645: 0.8:
1.34      fefe      646:   vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
                    647:     incorrectly.
1.35      fefe      648:   new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36      fefe      649:   added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.

1.40      fefe      652:   added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41      fefe      653:   added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
                    654:     insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42      fefe      655:   added qsort() and bsearch().  Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
                    656:     glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
                    657:     diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
                    658:     I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43      fefe      659:   added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
                    660:   added popen() and pclose().  Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
                    661:     S-Lang!)
1.44      fefe      662:   corrected usleep.  It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45      fefe      663:   corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
                    664:   several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46      fefe      665:   added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47      fefe      666:   added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50      fefe      667:   added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48      fefe      668:   added h_errno and __h_errno_location

1.51      fefe      671:   add bcopy, index, rindex macros
                    672:   add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52      fefe      673:   add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53      olaf      674:   Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54      fefe      675:   Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file.  I put it in contrib and hope
                    676:     everbody knows what to do with it...
                    677:   Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55      fefe      678:   added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56      fefe      679:   add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
                    680:     kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57      fefe      681:   added shutdown
1.58      fefe      682:   added nice
                    683:   added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
                    684:     isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc).  So, for example, liblatin1 can
                    685:     overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59      fefe      686:   added liblatin1.a
1.60      fefe      687:   added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61      fefe      688:   added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62      fefe      689:   Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
                    690:     Thanks!
1.63      fefe      691:   merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34      fefe      692: 
1.21      fefe      693: 0.7.2:
                    694:   added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
                    695:     <sys/reboot.h>.  Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22      fefe      696:   added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls.  Thanks to
                    697:     Abraham again.  He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
                    698:     an ugly BSD hack.  I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
                    699:     little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
                    700:     and daemon() ;-)
                    701:   added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there.  The
                    702:     idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
                    703:     libraries anyway.
1.26      fefe      704:   optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27      fefe      705:   added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
                    706:     limits.h instead)
                    707:   added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
                    708:     lzop and bzip2.
1.28      fefe      709:   added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
                    710:   Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31      fefe      711:     format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29      fefe      712:   added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
                    713:   added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31      fefe      714:   fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30      fefe      715:   removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31      fefe      716:   removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32      fefe      717:   oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33      fefe      718:   Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21      fefe      719: 
1.9       fefe      720: 0.7.1:
1.11      fefe      721:   optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
                    722:   optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
                    723:   added system (by Olaf).
1.12      fefe      724:   added tolower and toupper
1.13      fefe      725:   added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14      fefe      726:   added clone for mips (by Olaf).
                    727:   fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15      olaf      728:   added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17      fefe      729:   added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16      fefe      730:   added isupper and islower.
                    731:   added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17      fefe      732:   added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
                    733:     insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18      fefe      734:   added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19      fefe      735:   oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20      fefe      736:   oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
                    737:     Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9       fefe      738: 
                    739: 0.7:
1.6       olaf      740:   clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1       cvs       741:   Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
                    742:   We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
                    743:   added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
                    744:     vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2       fefe      745:   imported readdir fix from Guillaume.  Mhh, can the kernel interface
                    746:     really be this broken?
1.3       fefe      747:   Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
                    748:     stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO).  If this does
                    749:     not work for you, please tell me!
1.4       fefe      750:   Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7       fefe      751:   Fixed stdio line buffering.  The code was already there but I forgot
                    752:     to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered.  This should really be
                    753:     done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8       fefe      754:   Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1       cvs       755: 
                    756: 0.6.14:
                    757:   *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
                    758:   added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
                    759:   did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
                    760:   repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
                    761:     supported).
                    762:   [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume.  Thanks!]
                    763:   added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
                    764: 
                    765: 0.6.13:
                    766:   included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
                    767:     GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL).  That means that
                    768:     you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
                    769:     libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
                    770:   The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
                    771:     noticed until now!  Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
                    772:     this!
                    773:   The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
                    774:     segfault.  Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
                    775: 
                    776: 0.6.12:
                    777:   added assert, statfs and fstatfs
                    778:   added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
                    779: 
                    780: 0.6.11:
                    781:   added putenv.
                    782: 
                    783: 0.6.10:
                    784:   fixed fwrite.  It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
                    785:     of records.  Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
                    786:   fixed fgets.  It returned EOF on empty lines.  Thanks, Erik Frey.
                    787:   added brk and sbrk.  harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
                    788: 
                    789: 0.6.9:
                    790:   fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
                    791:   did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
                    792:     The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
                    793:   fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
                    794:   fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
                    795:   fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
                    796: 
                    797: 0.6.8:
                    798:   Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
                    799:     mips and arm.  I did the one for ppc.  They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
                    800:   added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
                    801:   added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
                    802:   added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
                    803:   added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h.  Most of the
                    804:     string routines have been unrolled.  This is up to three times as
                    805:     fast but creates up to three times larger code.  Now you can disable
                    806:     the unrolling.
                    807:   added sendfile.
                    808:   I also added pread.  It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
                    809:     I have no idea what's going on.  strace disagrees with the kernel.
                    810:     Can anyone help?  I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
                    811:   added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open.  nm on
                    812:     libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
                    813: 
                    814: 0.6.7:
                    815:   the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
                    816:   printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL.  This can be
                    817:     removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
                    818:   added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
                    819:   stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
                    820:     __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
                    821:     stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
                    822:     struct stat.  So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
                    823:     dietlibc headers.
                    824: 
                    825: 0.6.6:
                    826:   changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
                    827:   added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
                    828:   Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
                    829:   Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
                    830:     more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms!  It also
                    831:     looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
                    832:   added a "real" stdio.  Well, almost.  Please contribute!
                    833:   added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
                    834:   removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
                    835:   stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
                    836:   stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
                    837:     stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
                    838: 
                    839: 0.6.5:
                    840:   Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
                    841:     most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
                    842:     functions.
                    843:   Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
                    844:     several bugs.
                    845:   Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
                    846:   Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
                    847: 
                    848: 0.6.4:
                    849:   declared is* static inline in getservent.
                    850:   added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
                    851:   changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
                    852:   new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS.  Thanks to Olaf the Mad
                    853:     Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
                    854:     box, just from reading the architecture manual.  And it worked out
                    855:     of the box.
                    856:   started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
                    857:     my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
                    858:     glibc).  diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
                    859:     from a normal libc.  The includes do declare more than diet libc
                    860:     currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
                    861:     applications.
                    862:   I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
                    863:     the C version.  Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
                    864:     very often and are substantially faster.
                    865:   added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
                    866:     version.  It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
                    867:     proton (thanks, anyway).
                    868:   added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
                    869:   "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
                    870: 
                    871: 0.6.3:
                    872:   added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
                    873:   added isblank
                    874:   added atol
                    875: 
                    876: 0.6.2:
                    877:   mmap for ARM didn't compile.  Thanks, Paul!
                    878: 
                    879: 0.6.1:
                    880:   split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
                    881:   getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
                    882:   Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
                    883: 
                    884: 0.6:
                    885:   strcat returned the wrong result.  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
                    886:   strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
                    887:   Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
                    888:     __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
                    889:   The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code.  That means that
                    890:     the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
                    891:     non-PIC.  I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
                    892:     Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
                    893:   I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
                    894:     VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically.  That should
                    895:     simplify the sources greatly.
                    896:   Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
                    897:   ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
                    898:   "compile" and "load" are now make targets.  Use them for djb programs.
                    899:   added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
                    900:     Again, contributed from Olaf.  Great work!
                    901: 
                    902: 0.5.12:
                    903:   printf also does signed numbers.
                    904:   If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
                    905:   *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
                    906:   Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
                    907:   If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
                    908:     return the number of bytes it would have written.
                    909:   Initial MIPS port!   (Oh, the agony!)
                    910:     No setjmp and longjmp support yet!  Please contribute!
                    911:   I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS.  Still, MIPS code is
                    912:     almost twice the size of SPARC code.  If anyone knows why: please
                    913:     tell me!
                    914: 
                    915: 0.5.11:
                    916:   I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
                    917:     on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
                    918:     subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
                    919:   A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
                    920:     2864 bytes on sparc
                    921:     2488 bytes on intel
                    922:   I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
                    923:     to make a few more applications work.
                    924:   Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
                    925:   He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
                    926:     costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
                    927:   I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
                    928:   I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite).  Now we can add
                    929:     floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
                    930: 
                    931: 0.5.10:
                    932:   I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
                    933:     the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
                    934:     arguments) except for setting the system call number.  All those
                    935:     system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
                    936:     I got rid of x86openclose again.  The savings are substantial:
                    937:     chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
                    938:     If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
                    939:     even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
                    940:     anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
                    941:     system call!)
                    942: 
                    943: 0.5.9:
                    944:   added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
                    945:   fixed strdup
                    946:   fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
                    947:   Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
                    948:     (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
                    949:     supporting octal, hex and decimal).  Thanks, Olaf!  (by the way:
                    950:     that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
                    951:     Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
                    952:     automatically pads pointers with '0'.
                    953:   Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
                    954:   Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
                    955:   The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
                    956:   64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
                    957:     [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
                    958:   Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
                    959:     speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
                    960:   For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
                    961:     errno handling.  This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
                    962:     few bytes.  I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
                    963:     all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
                    964: 
                    965: 0.5.8:
                    966:   fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
                    967: 
                    968:   added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
                    969:   memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
                    970:   strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
                    971:   contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
                    972: 
                    973:   added execvp, getcwd
                    974: 
                    975:   fixed __xmknod
                    976: 
                    977:   Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
                    978:   cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
                    979:   structure?  I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
                    980:   not follow symlinks.
                    981: 
                    982: 0.5.7:
                    983:   oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
                    984: 
                    985: 0.5.6:
                    986:   ported to ppc-linux.
                    987:   fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
                    988:   included sigjmp.c
                    989: 
                    990: 0.5.5:
                    991:   added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
                    992:   actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
                    993:   I fixed it now.
                    994:   dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
                    995:   fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
                    996: 
                    997: 0.5.4:
                    998:   ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only).  Beware: does not work yet.
                    999:   added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
                   1000: 
                   1001: 0.5.3:
                   1002:   added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
                   1003: 
                   1004: 0.5.2:
                   1005:   added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
                   1006:     (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
                   1007:   added localtime from uC-libc.
                   1008: 
                   1009: 0.5.1:
                   1010:   stat and friends actually work now.  Yuck!  Another case of
                   1011:     translation between kernel and userland.  Why can't the kernel
                   1012:     people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
                   1013:   removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
                   1014:   added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
                   1015:   inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
                   1016:   "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
                   1017: 
                   1018: 0.5:
                   1019:   Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
                   1020:   each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
                   1021:   split each system call into a separate object file
                   1022:   added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
                   1023: 
                   1024: 0.4.1:
                   1025:   oops, the strchr implementation was wrong.  Thanks Jens Laas!
                   1026: 
                   1027: 0.4:
                   1028:   copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
                   1029:   added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
                   1030: 
                   1031: 0.3:
                   1032:   remove readdir system call
                   1033:   added getdents system call
                   1034:   added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
                   1035:   added a few string functions (in str*.c)
                   1036:
