The patch adds strlen.S to contain the complementary preprocessor
logic to strlen-stub.c intended to provide #inclusion of alternative
.S implementations.
Initially we just include the existing strlen-armv7.S implementation.
We rewrite _ISA_ARMV7 in both strlen.S and strlen-stub.c to use the
underlying existing underlying defintion from arm_asm.h in order to
avoide including that file, this is in effect the first step towards a
move to ACLE predefines only.

Regression testing newlib in conjunction with libgloss and
--enable-multilib can result in incompatible multilib versions of
newlib and libgloss being used during link.
This manifests on ARM target when newlib regression is run using a
GCC configured using --with-multilib-list=aprofile
With this configuration many of the multilib variants built are
mutually incompatible.
The issue is that the newlib dejagnu foo iterates each multilib
variant and correctly chooses the appropriate newlib variant but
always chooses the root/base libgloss variant.
The implementation of newlib/testsuite/lib/flags.exp contains the
following fragment:
set target_build_path "$objdir/$multibuildtop.."
The effect of this fragment is to explicitly select the root version
of libgloss, irrespective of the current multilib.
Digging around in VC it appears that the original implementation of
multlib magic came into the tree back in 2002 with:
6e9d950a (Thomas Fitzsimmons 2002-05-01 17:06:25 +0000 39)
In this initial version of multilib support, newlib was multilib
capable, but libgloss was not multilib capable, hence the necessity to
explicitly select the root libgloss version.
Subsequently flags.exp was modified to support out of tree testing:
cec1d3b4 (Jeff Johnston 2005-07-05 00:11:50 +0000 25)
This change is orthogonal to this issue, its effect is to exit early
in none multilib configurations.
Subsequently libgloss gained --enable-multilib support, the relevant
change is:
https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2006/msg00440.html
commit 00a4b31ad0
Author: Jeff Johnston <jjohnstn@redhat.com>
Date: Wed May 10 20:51:41 2006 +0000
This change enabled multilib support throughout libgloss, but ommitted
to adjust the flag.exp behaviour which anchors the libgloss multilib
selection to the base version.
The attached patch adjusts flags.exp to select the current multilib
variant of libgloss.

makedoc defines a command as 'all upper case, and alone on a line'.
A few QUICKREF lines currently violate this by having some additional text after
the QUICKREF.
So, currently, these lines are treated as an unknown command.
This is benign as QUICKREF currently does nothing but produce some ignored
output on stderr. I'm not sure what the intent of QUICKREF is.

ARM newlib has various strcmp implementations that use .cfi_*
directives to generate unwind information.
The effect of this is that the generated objects contain .eh_frame
sections. However, ARM uses its own unwind info format, not
.eh_frame, which is generated by ARM-specific directives, not .cfi_*.
The .eh_frame sections are useless, but also not removed by strip and
may be loaded into memory at runtime.
This patch fixes this by using .cfi_sections .debug_frame (as in
glibc) so that the directives generate .debug_frame instead.
.debug_frame is useful for the debugger, can be removed by strip, and
is not loaded into memory at runtime.

The patch cleans up the auto configury mechanism used to select
different implementations of memchr for various architecture versions.
The approach here is to remove the selection of memchr within automake
and instead use complimentary logic in memchr-stub.c and memchr.S to
choose between the gerneric memchr.c implementation or one of the
architecture specific implementations.
This patch also changes the selection criteria inline with the
previous proposal here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2015/msg00752.html

This revised patch flips the remaining preprocessor logic in
memcpy-stub.c to use ACLE defines as requested in the previous review
and removes the now disused HAVE_ARMV7A and HAVE_ARMV8A configure.in
support.
The newlib configury logic that detects architecture version and
chooses an appropriate memcpy implementation does not consider
ARMv8-a.
This patch adds configury logic to detect ARMv8-a along with the
associated changes in Makefile.am and memcpy.
This is mandated by POSIX.

Hi!
I've got the situation, that the function strlen() occurs twice in libc.a
(building newlib for ARM-V7a and Size-Optimized).
In newlib/libc/machine/arm/strlen.c there are the pre-processor stetements ...
#if defined (__OPTIMIZE_SIZE__) || defined (PREFER_SIZE_OVER_SPEED) || \
(defined (__thumb__) && !defined (__thumb2__))
/*...*/
#else
#if !(defined(_ISA_ARM_7) || defined(__ARM_ARCH_6T2__))
/*...*/
#endif
and in newlib/libc/machine/arm/strlen-armv7.S the "exclude" begins with
/* NOTE: This ifdef MUST match the ones in arm/strlen.c
We fallback to the one in arm/strlen.c for size optimised or
for older architectures. */
#if defined(_ISA_ARM_7) || defined(__ARM_ARCH_6T2__) && \
!(defined (__OPTIMIZE_SIZE__) || defined (PREFER_SIZE_OVER_SPEED) || \
(defined (__thumb__) && !defined (__thumb2__)))
But this is not completely contrary to arm/strlen.c (see above)!
To fix the logical statement in arm/strlen-armv7.S there are parentheses needed

Hi,
As I mentioned recently [1], newlib is providing a "kill" symbol to link
against, without declaring "kill" in signal.h. This is confusing for the
libgfortran build, which tries to link against kill (which succeeds), then
tries to use it (which triggers -Werror=implicit-function-declaration).
This patch implements my suggestion in that thread - making the declaration
of 'kill' in libc/include/sys/signal.h unconditional.
I've tested this by building a modified libgfortran on AArch64/ARM to see
that the Werror goes away, and the libgfortran build succeeds.
Is something like this OK for newlib? If so, can someone please commit
it on my behalf, as I have no commit access here.
Otherwise, what is your preferred direction for me to take this patch?
Thanks,
James

So it seems this problem has been around for a while, and looks like it
is due to a change in texi2dvi in texinfo 5.0 or late 4.x, see [1].
I guess it's not very noticeable since it only occurs when doing 'make
dvi', which doesn't happen by default.
Attached is a different and perhaps cleaner workaround to the one in
that thread.
