                    564:     offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
                    565:     not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
                    566:     SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.

1.211     fefe      572:   Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so

1.216     fefe      590:   Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to

                    598:     don't write anything which was no longer the case.  It also
                    599:     allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223     fefe      600:   Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209     fefe      601:

1.169     fefe      634:   add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171     fefe      635:   add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172     fefe      636:   add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173     fefe      637:   several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174     fefe      638:   add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175     fefe      639:   add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)

                    643:   fix gethostent alias list termination.  Major oops.
1.178     fefe      644:   add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).

                    649:     If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
                    650:     external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc.  So,
                    651:     when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
                    652:     glibc, the linker will barf.  This will bloat your object files, but
                    653:     you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
                    654:     the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182     fefe      655:   fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183     fefe      656:   add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent

                    658:   remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184     fefe      659:   rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185     fefe      660:   add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186     fefe      661:   rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187     fefe      662:   Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker.  It's a clean-room
                    663:     implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
                    664:     room ;)
1.188     fefe      665:   add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
                    666:   fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
                    667:     longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189     fefe      668:   changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
                    669:     LONG_MIN will work correctly.  (GNU tar does this)
1.190     fefe      670:   fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
                    671:   add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
                    672:   add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191     fefe      673:   fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192     fefe      674:   added real make install target
1.164     fefe      675: 
1.115     fefe      676: 0.11:
                    677:   fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116     fefe      678:   fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).

                    682:   add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
                    683:   try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
                    684:     initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119     fefe      685:   fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120     fefe      686:   I wrote a new getopt.  It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
                    687:     compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
                    688:     a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121     fefe      689:   Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
                    690:     broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
1.463     leitner   691:     I wonder how many programmers have produced off-by-one errors here...
1.122     fefe      692:   Fix regexec offset return.  autoconf now believes that diet libc has
                    693:     POSIX regular expressions.
1.123     fefe      694:   Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124     fefe      695:   Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125     fefe      696:   Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|).  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.

1.128     fefe      699:   Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
                    700:   initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
                    701:   remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129     fefe      702:   added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
                    703:     warning.
1.131     fefe      704:   started getting rid of kernel headers.  Big task! :-(
1.130     fefe      705:   add res_mkquery.  The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132     olaf      706:   Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
                    707:     startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
                    708:     too)
1.134     fefe      709:   __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
                    710:     Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133     olaf      711:   Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
                    712:     also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135     fefe      713:   crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136     fefe      714:   implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137     fefe      715:   fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
                    716:     not work as delimiter)
1.138     fefe      717:   errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143     fefe      718:   added mkdtemp.
1.142     fefe      719:   Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
                    720:     ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
                    721:     realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
                    722:     putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
                    723:     popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
                    724:     fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
                    725:     bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
                    726:       behavior.
                    727:     system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
                    728:     popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147     fefe      729:     daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
                    730:     perror did not save errno.
1.144     olaf      731:   Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
                    732:     same problem.
                    733:     Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
                    734:     now implemented.
1.145     fefe      735:   Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled.  I will try to
                    736:     implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146     fefe      737:   Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148     fefe      738:   Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.

1.150     fefe      741:   Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these

                    757:     legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163     fefe      758:   Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between

                    760:     Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!

1.76      fefe      766:   add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")

                    804:   my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102     fefe      805:   wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
                    806:     bytes, not the buffer)

1.34      fefe      842:   vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
                    843:     incorrectly.
1.35      fefe      844:   new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36      fefe      845:   added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39      fefe      846:   added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38      fefe      847:   define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40      fefe      848:   added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41      fefe      849:   added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
                    850:     insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42      fefe      851:   added qsort() and bsearch().  Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
                    852:     glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
                    853:     diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
                    854:     I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43      fefe      855:   added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
                    856:   added popen() and pclose().  Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
                    857:     S-Lang!)
1.44      fefe      858:   corrected usleep.  It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45      fefe      859:   corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
                    860:   several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46      fefe      861:   added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47      fefe      862:   added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50      fefe      863:   added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48      fefe      864:   added h_errno and __h_errno_location
                    865:   added inet_ntoa
1.49      fefe      866:   added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51      fefe      867:   add bcopy, index, rindex macros
                    868:   add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52      fefe      869:   add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53      olaf      870:   Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54      fefe      871:   Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file.  I put it in contrib and hope
                    872:     everbody knows what to do with it...
                    873:   Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55      fefe      874:   added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56      fefe      875:   add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
                    876:     kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57      fefe      877:   added shutdown
1.58      fefe      878:   added nice
                    879:   added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
                    880:     isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc).  So, for example, liblatin1 can
                    881:     overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59      fefe      882:   added liblatin1.a
1.60      fefe      883:   added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61      fefe      884:   added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62      fefe      885:   Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
                    886:     Thanks!
1.63      fefe      887:   merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34      fefe      888: 
1.21      fefe      889: 0.7.2:
                    890:   added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
                    891:     <sys/reboot.h>.  Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22      fefe      892:   added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls.  Thanks to
                    893:     Abraham again.  He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
                    894:     an ugly BSD hack.  I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
                    895:     little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
                    896:     and daemon() ;-)
                    897:   added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there.  The
                    898:     idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
                    899:     libraries anyway.
1.26      fefe      900:   optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27      fefe      901:   added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
                    902:     limits.h instead)
                    903:   added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
                    904:     lzop and bzip2.
1.28      fefe      905:   added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
                    906:   Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31      fefe      907:     format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29      fefe      908:   added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
                    909:   added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31      fefe      910:   fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30      fefe      911:   removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31      fefe      912:   removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32      fefe      913:   oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33      fefe      914:   Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21      fefe      915: 
1.9       fefe      916: 0.7.1:
1.11      fefe      917:   optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
                    918:   optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
                    919:   added system (by Olaf).
1.12      fefe      920:   added tolower and toupper
1.13      fefe      921:   added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14      fefe      922:   added clone for mips (by Olaf).
                    923:   fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15      olaf      924:   added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17      fefe      925:   added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16      fefe      926:   added isupper and islower.
                    927:   added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17      fefe      928:   added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
                    929:     insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18      fefe      930:   added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19      fefe      931:   oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20      fefe      932:   oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
                    933:     Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9       fefe      934: 
                    935: 0.7:
1.6       olaf      936:   clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1       cvs       937:   Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
                    938:   We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
                    939:   added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
                    940:     vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2       fefe      941:   imported readdir fix from Guillaume.  Mhh, can the kernel interface
                    942:     really be this broken?
1.3       fefe      943:   Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
                    944:     stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO).  If this does
                    945:     not work for you, please tell me!
1.4       fefe      946:   Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7       fefe      947:   Fixed stdio line buffering.  The code was already there but I forgot
                    948:     to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered.  This should really be
                    949:     done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8       fefe      950:   Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1       cvs       951: 
                    952: 0.6.14:
                    953:   *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
                    954:   added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
                    955:   did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
                    956:   repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
                    957:     supported).
                    958:   [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume.  Thanks!]
                    959:   added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
                    960: 
                    961: 0.6.13:
                    962:   included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
                    963:     GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL).  That means that
                    964:     you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
                    965:     libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
                    966:   The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
                    967:     noticed until now!  Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
                    968:     this!
                    969:   The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
                    970:     segfault.  Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
                    971: 
                    972: 0.6.12:
                    973:   added assert, statfs and fstatfs
                    974:   added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
                    975: 
                    976: 0.6.11:
                    977:   added putenv.
                    978: 
                    979: 0.6.10:
                    980:   fixed fwrite.  It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
                    981:     of records.  Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
                    982:   fixed fgets.  It returned EOF on empty lines.  Thanks, Erik Frey.
                    983:   added brk and sbrk.  harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
                    984: 
                    985: 0.6.9:
                    986:   fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
                    987:   did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
                    988:     The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
                    989:   fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
                    990:   fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
                    991:   fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
                    992: 
                    993: 0.6.8:
                    994:   Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
                    995:     mips and arm.  I did the one for ppc.  They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
                    996:   added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
                    997:   added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
                    998:   added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
                    999:   added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h.  Most of the
                   1000:     string routines have been unrolled.  This is up to three times as
                   1001:     fast but creates up to three times larger code.  Now you can disable
                   1002:     the unrolling.
                   1003:   added sendfile.
                   1004:   I also added pread.  It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
                   1005:     I have no idea what's going on.  strace disagrees with the kernel.
                   1006:     Can anyone help?  I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
                   1007:   added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open.  nm on
                   1008:     libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
                   1009: 
                   1010: 0.6.7:
                   1011:   the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
                   1012:   printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL.  This can be
                   1013:     removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
                   1014:   added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
                   1015:   stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
                   1016:     __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
                   1017:     stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
                   1018:     struct stat.  So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
                   1019:     dietlibc headers.
                   1020: 
                   1021: 0.6.6:
                   1022:   changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
                   1023:   added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
                   1024:   Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
                   1025:   Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
                   1026:     more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms!  It also
                   1027:     looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
                   1028:   added a "real" stdio.  Well, almost.  Please contribute!
                   1029:   added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
                   1030:   removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
                   1031:   stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
                   1032:   stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
                   1033:     stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
                   1034: 
                   1035: 0.6.5:
                   1036:   Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
                   1037:     most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
                   1038:     functions.
                   1039:   Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
                   1040:     several bugs.
                   1041:   Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
                   1042:   Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
                   1043: 
                   1044: 0.6.4:
                   1045:   declared is* static inline in getservent.
                   1046:   added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
                   1047:   changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
                   1048:   new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS.  Thanks to Olaf the Mad
                   1049:     Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
                   1050:     box, just from reading the architecture manual.  And it worked out
                   1051:     of the box.
                   1052:   started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
                   1053:     my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
                   1054:     glibc).  diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
                   1055:     from a normal libc.  The includes do declare more than diet libc
                   1056:     currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
                   1057:     applications.
                   1058:   I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
                   1059:     the C version.  Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
                   1060:     very often and are substantially faster.
                   1061:   added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
                   1062:     version.  It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
                   1063:     proton (thanks, anyway).
                   1064:   added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
                   1065:   "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
                   1066: 
                   1067: 0.6.3:
                   1068:   added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
                   1069:   added isblank
                   1070:   added atol
                   1071: 
                   1072: 0.6.2:
                   1073:   mmap for ARM didn't compile.  Thanks, Paul!
                   1074: 
                   1075: 0.6.1:
                   1076:   split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
                   1077:   getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
                   1078:   Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
                   1079: 
                   1080: 0.6:
                   1081:   strcat returned the wrong result.  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
                   1082:   strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
                   1083:   Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
                   1084:     __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
                   1085:   The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code.  That means that
                   1086:     the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
                   1087:     non-PIC.  I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
                   1088:     Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
                   1089:   I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
                   1090:     VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically.  That should
                   1091:     simplify the sources greatly.
                   1092:   Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
                   1093:   ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
                   1094:   "compile" and "load" are now make targets.  Use them for djb programs.
                   1095:   added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
                   1096:     Again, contributed from Olaf.  Great work!
                   1097: 
                   1098: 0.5.12:
                   1099:   printf also does signed numbers.
                   1100:   If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
                   1101:   *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
                   1102:   Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
                   1103:   If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
                   1104:     return the number of bytes it would have written.
                   1105:   Initial MIPS port!   (Oh, the agony!)
                   1106:     No setjmp and longjmp support yet!  Please contribute!
                   1107:   I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS.  Still, MIPS code is
                   1108:     almost twice the size of SPARC code.  If anyone knows why: please
                   1109:     tell me!
                   1110: 
                   1111: 0.5.11:
                   1112:   I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
                   1113:     on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
                   1114:     subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
                   1115:   A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
                   1116:     2864 bytes on sparc
                   1117:     2488 bytes on intel
                   1118:   I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
                   1119:     to make a few more applications work.
                   1120:   Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
                   1121:   He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
                   1122:     costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
                   1123:   I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
                   1124:   I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite).  Now we can add
                   1125:     floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
                   1126: 
                   1127: 0.5.10:
                   1128:   I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
                   1129:     the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
                   1130:     arguments) except for setting the system call number.  All those
                   1131:     system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
                   1132:     I got rid of x86openclose again.  The savings are substantial:
                   1133:     chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
                   1134:     If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
                   1135:     even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
                   1136:     anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
                   1137:     system call!)
                   1138: 
                   1139: 0.5.9:
                   1140:   added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
                   1141:   fixed strdup
                   1142:   fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
                   1143:   Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
                   1144:     (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
                   1145:     supporting octal, hex and decimal).  Thanks, Olaf!  (by the way:
                   1146:     that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
                   1147:     Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
                   1148:     automatically pads pointers with '0'.
                   1149:   Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
                   1150:   Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
                   1151:   The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
                   1152:   64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
                   1153:     [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
                   1154:   Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
                   1155:     speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
                   1156:   For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
                   1157:     errno handling.  This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
                   1158:     few bytes.  I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
                   1159:     all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
                   1160: 
                   1161: 0.5.8:
                   1162:   fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
                   1163: 
                   1164:   added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
                   1165:   memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
                   1166:   strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
                   1167:   contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
                   1168: 
                   1169:   added execvp, getcwd
                   1170: 
                   1171:   fixed __xmknod
                   1172: 
                   1173:   Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
                   1174:   cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
                   1175:   structure?  I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
                   1176:   not follow symlinks.
                   1177: 
                   1178: 0.5.7:
                   1179:   oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
                   1180: 
                   1181: 0.5.6:
                   1182:   ported to ppc-linux.
                   1183:   fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
                   1184:   included sigjmp.c
                   1185: 
                   1186: 0.5.5:
                   1187:   added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
                   1188:   actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
                   1189:   I fixed it now.
                   1190:   dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
                   1191:   fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
                   1192: 
                   1193: 0.5.4:
                   1194:   ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only).  Beware: does not work yet.
                   1195:   added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
                   1196: 
                   1197: 0.5.3:
                   1198:   added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
                   1199: 
                   1200: 0.5.2:
                   1201:   added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
                   1202:     (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
                   1203:   added localtime from uC-libc.
                   1204: 
                   1205: 0.5.1:
                   1206:   stat and friends actually work now.  Yuck!  Another case of
                   1207:     translation between kernel and userland.  Why can't the kernel
                   1208:     people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
                   1209:   removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
                   1210:   added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
                   1211:   inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
                   1212:   "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
                   1213: 
                   1214: 0.5:
                   1215:   Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
                   1216:   each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
                   1217:   split each system call into a separate object file
                   1218:   added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
                   1219: 
                   1220: 0.4.1:
                   1221:   oops, the strchr implementation was wrong.  Thanks Jens Laas!
                   1222: 
                   1223: 0.4:
                   1224:   copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
                   1225:   added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
                   1226: 
                   1227: 0.3:
                   1228:   remove readdir system call
                   1229:   added getdents system call
                   1230:   added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
                   1231:   added a few string functions (in str*.c)
                   1232:
