1.214     fefe      423:   Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
                    424:     getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
                    425:     liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
                    426:     arguments, not ints (signedness).  execvp had a buffer overflow in
                    427:     case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
                    428:     problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
                    429:     value anyway.
1.219     fefe      430:     hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217     fefe      431:   Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214     fefe      432:   Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
                    433:     three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215     fefe      434:   I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it.  For gcc 3,
                    435:     it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216     fefe      436:   Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
                    437:     size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218     fefe      438:   Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220     olaf      439:   Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
                    440:     libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
                    441:     because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221     fefe      442:   tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field.  Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222     fefe      443:   Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
                    444:     don't write anything which was no longer the case.  It also
                    445:     allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223     fefe      446:   Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209     fefe      447: 
1.193     fefe      448: 0.13:
1.194     fefe      449:   add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199     fefe      450:   make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207     fefe      451:   Olaf: port to S/390!
1.463     leitner   452:   fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197     leitner   453:   res_query did not initialize last
1.199     fefe      454:   diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198     leitner   455:   fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199     fefe      456:   duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200     fefe      457:   fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201     fefe      458:   rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205     fefe      459:   Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204     fefe      460:     make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
                    461:     fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
                    462:     fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
                    463:       bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205     fefe      464:     fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204     fefe      465:   fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
                    466:     Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205     fefe      467:   added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206     fefe      468:   make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208     fefe      469:   remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193     fefe      470: 
1.164     fefe      471: 0.12:
                    472:   more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165     fefe      473:   iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167     fefe      474:   Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166     fefe      475:   Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
                    476:     routines to make them smaller.
1.168     fefe      477:   add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170     fefe      478:   several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168     fefe      479:     add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169     fefe      480:   add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171     fefe      481:   add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172     fefe      482:   add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173     fefe      483:   several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174     fefe      484:   add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175     fefe      485:   add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)

                    488:   add a few more module syscalls.  modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
                    489:   fix gethostent alias list termination.  Major oops.
1.178     fefe      490:   add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).

                    495:     If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
                    496:     external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc.  So,
                    497:     when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
                    498:     glibc, the linker will barf.  This will bloat your object files, but
                    499:     you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
                    500:     the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182     fefe      501:   fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183     fefe      502:   add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
                    503:   do the same for getgrent and getspent
                    504:   remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184     fefe      505:   rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185     fefe      506:   add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186     fefe      507:   rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187     fefe      508:   Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker.  It's a clean-room
                    509:     implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
                    510:     room ;)
1.188     fefe      511:   add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
                    512:   fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
                    513:     longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189     fefe      514:   changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
                    515:     LONG_MIN will work correctly.  (GNU tar does this)
1.190     fefe      516:   fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
                    517:   add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
                    518:   add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191     fefe      519:   fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192     fefe      520:   added real make install target
1.164     fefe      521: 
1.115     fefe      522: 0.11:
                    523:   fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116     fefe      524:   fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117     fefe      525:   add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
                    526:   add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118     fefe      527:   cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
                    528:   add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
                    529:   try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
                    530:     initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119     fefe      531:   fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120     fefe      532:   I wrote a new getopt.  It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
                    533:     compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
                    534:     a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121     fefe      535:   Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
                    536:     broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
1.463     leitner   537:     I wonder how many programmers have produced off-by-one errors here...
1.122     fefe      538:   Fix regexec offset return.  autoconf now believes that diet libc has
                    539:     POSIX regular expressions.
1.123     fefe      540:   Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124     fefe      541:   Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125     fefe      542:   Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|).  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.

1.128     fefe      545:   Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
                    546:   initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
                    547:   remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129     fefe      548:   added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
                    549:     warning.
1.131     fefe      550:   started getting rid of kernel headers.  Big task! :-(
1.130     fefe      551:   add res_mkquery.  The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132     olaf      552:   Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
                    553:     startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
                    554:     too)
1.134     fefe      555:   __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
                    556:     Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133     olaf      557:   Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
                    558:     also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135     fefe      559:   crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136     fefe      560:   implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137     fefe      561:   fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
                    562:     not work as delimiter)
1.138     fefe      563:   errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143     fefe      564:   added mkdtemp.
1.142     fefe      565:   Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
                    566:     ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
                    567:     realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
                    568:     putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
                    569:     popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
                    570:     fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
                    571:     bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
                    572:       behavior.
                    573:     system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
                    574:     popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147     fefe      575:     daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
                    576:     perror did not save errno.
1.144     olaf      577:   Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
                    578:     same problem.
                    579:     Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
                    580:     now implemented.
1.145     fefe      581:   Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled.  I will try to
                    582:     implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146     fefe      583:   Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148     fefe      584:   Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149     fefe      585:   Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use

1.150     fefe      587:   Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
                    588:     sources stink!)
1.151     fefe      589:   Added openpty.

1.158     fefe      596:   Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.

1.161     olaf      602:   Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
                    603:     legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163     fefe      604:   Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
                    605:     iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
                    606:     Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115     fefe      607: 
1.74      fefe      608: 0.10:
                    609:   update getpagesize.
                    610:   add personality.
1.75      fefe      611:   add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76      fefe      612:   add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
                    613:     with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77      fefe      614:   import include/scsi/ from glibc.

                    623:   added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84      fefe      624:   added getpass.  mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
                    625:   fix the sig*set routines.  mount actually works now *bg*

                    644:     together support for %.2f.  Don't look at the code, please!
1.98      fefe      645:   fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing!  Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99      fefe      646:   imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100     fefe      647:   add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)

                    650:   my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102     fefe      651:   wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
                    652:     bytes, not the buffer)
                    653:   add realpath.
1.103     fefe      654:   fix vfprintf.

1.106     fefe      659:   fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.

1.110     fefe      663:   implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
                    664:     dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111     fefe      665:   add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112     fefe      666:   fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113     fefe      667:   RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken.  Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
                    668:     for sending a patch.

1.74      fefe      672: 
1.73      fefe      673: 0.9:

                    676:   imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67      fefe      677:   add fnmatch
                    678:   change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68      fefe      679:   Olaf added character classes to *scanf.

1.65      fefe      686: 
1.64      fefe      687: 0.8:
1.34      fefe      688:   vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
                    689:     incorrectly.
1.35      fefe      690:   new reboot() from Olaf.

1.41      fefe      695:   added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
                    696:     insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42      fefe      697:   added qsort() and bsearch().  Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
                    698:     glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
                    699:     diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
                    700:     I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43      fefe      701:   added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
                    702:   added popen() and pclose().  Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
                    703:     S-Lang!)
1.44      fefe      704:   corrected usleep.  It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45      fefe      705:   corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
                    706:   several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46      fefe      707:   added ungetc (does it work?)

                    714:   add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52      fefe      715:   add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53      olaf      716:   Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54      fefe      717:   Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file.  I put it in contrib and hope
                    718:     everbody knows what to do with it...
                    719:   Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55      fefe      720:   added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56      fefe      721:   add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
                    722:     kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57      fefe      723:   added shutdown
1.58      fefe      724:   added nice
                    725:   added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
                    726:     isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc).  So, for example, liblatin1 can
                    727:     overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59      fefe      728:   added liblatin1.a
1.60      fefe      729:   added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61      fefe      730:   added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62      fefe      731:   Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
                    732:     Thanks!
1.63      fefe      733:   merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34      fefe      734: 
1.21      fefe      735: 0.7.2:
                    736:   added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
                    737:     <sys/reboot.h>.  Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22      fefe      738:   added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls.  Thanks to
                    739:     Abraham again.  He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
                    740:     an ugly BSD hack.  I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
                    741:     little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
                    742:     and daemon() ;-)
                    743:   added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there.  The
                    744:     idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
                    745:     libraries anyway.
1.26      fefe      746:   optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27      fefe      747:   added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
                    748:     limits.h instead)
                    749:   added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
                    750:     lzop and bzip2.
1.28      fefe      751:   added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
                    752:   Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31      fefe      753:     format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29      fefe      754:   added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
                    755:   added gmtime and gmtime_r.

1.30      fefe      757:   removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31      fefe      758:   removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32      fefe      759:   oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33      fefe      760:   Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21      fefe      761: 
1.9       fefe      762: 0.7.1:
1.11      fefe      763:   optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
                    764:   optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
                    765:   added system (by Olaf).
1.12      fefe      766:   added tolower and toupper
1.13      fefe      767:   added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)

                    769:   fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15      olaf      770:   added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17      fefe      771:   added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16      fefe      772:   added isupper and islower.
                    773:   added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17      fefe      774:   added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
                    775:     insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18      fefe      776:   added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19      fefe      777:   oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20      fefe      778:   oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
                    779:     Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9       fefe      780: 
                    781: 0.7:
1.6       olaf      782:   clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1       cvs       783:   Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
                    784:   We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
                    785:   added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
                    786:     vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2       fefe      787:   imported readdir fix from Guillaume.  Mhh, can the kernel interface
                    788:     really be this broken?
1.3       fefe      789:   Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
                    790:     stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO).  If this does
                    791:     not work for you, please tell me!
1.4       fefe      792:   Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7       fefe      793:   Fixed stdio line buffering.  The code was already there but I forgot
                    794:     to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered.  This should really be
                    795:     done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8       fefe      796:   Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1       cvs       797: 
                    798: 0.6.14:

                    800:   added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
                    801:   did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
                    802:   repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
                    803:     supported).
                    804:   [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume.  Thanks!]
                    805:   added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
                    806: 
                    807: 0.6.13:
                    808:   included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
                    809:     GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL).  That means that
                    810:     you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
                    811:     libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
                    812:   The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
                    813:     noticed until now!  Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
                    814:     this!
                    815:   The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
                    816:     segfault.  Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
                    817: 
                    818: 0.6.12:
                    819:   added assert, statfs and fstatfs
                    820:   added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
                    821: 
                    822: 0.6.11:

                    824: 
                    825: 0.6.10:
                    826:   fixed fwrite.  It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
                    827:     of records.  Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
                    828:   fixed fgets.  It returned EOF on empty lines.  Thanks, Erik Frey.
                    829:   added brk and sbrk.  harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
                    830: 
                    831: 0.6.9:
                    832:   fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
                    833:   did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
                    834:     The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
                    835:   fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
                    836:   fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
                    837:   fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
                    838: 
                    839: 0.6.8:
                    840:   Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
                    841:     mips and arm.  I did the one for ppc.  They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
                    842:   added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
                    843:   added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
                    844:   added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
                    845:   added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h.  Most of the
                    846:     string routines have been unrolled.  This is up to three times as
                    847:     fast but creates up to three times larger code.  Now you can disable
                    848:     the unrolling.
                    849:   added sendfile.
                    850:   I also added pread.  It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
                    851:     I have no idea what's going on.  strace disagrees with the kernel.
                    852:     Can anyone help?  I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
                    853:   added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open.  nm on
                    854:     libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
                    855: 
                    856: 0.6.7:
                    857:   the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
                    858:   printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL.  This can be
                    859:     removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
                    860:   added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
                    861:   stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
                    862:     __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
                    863:     stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
                    864:     struct stat.  So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
                    865:     dietlibc headers.
                    866: 
                    867: 0.6.6:
                    868:   changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
                    869:   added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
                    870:   Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
                    871:   Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
                    872:     more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms!  It also
                    873:     looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
                    874:   added a "real" stdio.  Well, almost.  Please contribute!
                    875:   added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
                    876:   removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
                    877:   stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
                    878:   stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
                    879:     stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
                    880: 
                    881: 0.6.5:
                    882:   Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
                    883:     most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
                    884:     functions.
                    885:   Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
                    886:     several bugs.
                    887:   Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
                    888:   Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
                    889: 
                    890: 0.6.4:
                    891:   declared is* static inline in getservent.
                    892:   added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
                    893:   changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
                    894:   new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS.  Thanks to Olaf the Mad
                    895:     Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
                    896:     box, just from reading the architecture manual.  And it worked out
                    897:     of the box.
                    898:   started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
                    899:     my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
                    900:     glibc).  diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
                    901:     from a normal libc.  The includes do declare more than diet libc
                    902:     currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
                    903:     applications.
                    904:   I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
                    905:     the C version.  Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
                    906:     very often and are substantially faster.
                    907:   added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
                    908:     version.  It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
                    909:     proton (thanks, anyway).
                    910:   added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
                    911:   "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
                    912: 
                    913: 0.6.3:
                    914:   added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
                    915:   added isblank
                    916:   added atol
                    917: 
                    918: 0.6.2:
                    919:   mmap for ARM didn't compile.  Thanks, Paul!
                    920: 
                    921: 0.6.1:
                    922:   split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
                    923:   getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
                    924:   Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
                    925: 
                    926: 0.6:
                    927:   strcat returned the wrong result.  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
                    928:   strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
                    929:   Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
                    930:     __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
                    931:   The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code.  That means that
                    932:     the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
                    933:     non-PIC.  I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
                    934:     Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
                    935:   I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
                    936:     VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically.  That should
                    937:     simplify the sources greatly.
                    938:   Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
                    939:   ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
                    940:   "compile" and "load" are now make targets.  Use them for djb programs.
                    941:   added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
                    942:     Again, contributed from Olaf.  Great work!
                    943: 
                    944: 0.5.12:
                    945:   printf also does signed numbers.
                    946:   If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
                    947:   *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
                    948:   Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
                    949:   If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
                    950:     return the number of bytes it would have written.
                    951:   Initial MIPS port!   (Oh, the agony!)
                    952:     No setjmp and longjmp support yet!  Please contribute!
                    953:   I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS.  Still, MIPS code is
                    954:     almost twice the size of SPARC code.  If anyone knows why: please
                    955:     tell me!
                    956: 
                    957: 0.5.11:
                    958:   I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
                    959:     on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
                    960:     subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
                    961:   A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
                    962:     2864 bytes on sparc
                    963:     2488 bytes on intel
                    964:   I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
                    965:     to make a few more applications work.
                    966:   Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
                    967:   He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
                    968:     costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
                    969:   I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
                    970:   I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite).  Now we can add
                    971:     floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
                    972: 
                    973: 0.5.10:
                    974:   I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
                    975:     the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
                    976:     arguments) except for setting the system call number.  All those
                    977:     system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
                    978:     I got rid of x86openclose again.  The savings are substantial:
                    979:     chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
                    980:     If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
                    981:     even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
                    982:     anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
                    983:     system call!)
                    984: 
                    985: 0.5.9:
                    986:   added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
                    987:   fixed strdup
                    988:   fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
                    989:   Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
                    990:     (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
                    991:     supporting octal, hex and decimal).  Thanks, Olaf!  (by the way:
                    992:     that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
                    993:     Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
                    994:     automatically pads pointers with '0'.
                    995:   Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
                    996:   Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
                    997:   The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
                    998:   64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
                    999:     [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
                   1000:   Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
                   1001:     speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
                   1002:   For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
                   1003:     errno handling.  This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
                   1004:     few bytes.  I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
                   1005:     all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
                   1006: 
                   1007: 0.5.8:
                   1008:   fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
                   1009: 
                   1010:   added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
                   1011:   memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
                   1012:   strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
                   1013:   contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
                   1014: 
                   1015:   added execvp, getcwd
                   1016: 
                   1017:   fixed __xmknod
                   1018: 
                   1019:   Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
                   1020:   cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
                   1021:   structure?  I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
                   1022:   not follow symlinks.
                   1023: 
                   1024: 0.5.7:
                   1025:   oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
                   1026: 
                   1027: 0.5.6:
                   1028:   ported to ppc-linux.
                   1029:   fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
                   1030:   included sigjmp.c
                   1031: 
                   1032: 0.5.5:
                   1033:   added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
                   1034:   actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
                   1035:   I fixed it now.
                   1036:   dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
                   1037:   fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
                   1038: 
                   1039: 0.5.4:
                   1040:   ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only).  Beware: does not work yet.
                   1041:   added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
                   1042:
