The newlib & libgloss dirs are already generated using autoconf-2.69.
To avoid merging new code and/or accidental regeneration using diff
versions, leverage config/override.m4 to pin to 2.69 exactly. This
matches what gcc/binutils/gdb are already doing.
The README file already says to use autoconf-2.69.
To accomplish this, it's just as simple as adding -I flags to the
top-level config/ dir when running aclocal. This is because the
override.m4 file overrides AC_INIT to first require the specific
autoconf version before calling the real AC_INIT.
Libtool needs to get BSD-format (or MS-format) output out of the system
nm, so that it can scan generated object files for symbol names for
-export-symbols-regex support. Some nms need specific flags to turn on
BSD-formatted output, so libtool checks for this in its AC_PATH_NM.
Unfortunately the code to do this has a pair of interlocking flaws:
- it runs the test by doing an nm of /dev/null. Some platforms
reasonably refuse to do an nm on a device file, but before now this
has only been worked around by assuming that the error message has a
specific textual form emitted by Tru64 nm, and that getting this
error means this is Tru64 nm and that nm -B would work to produce
BSD-format output, even though the test never actually got anything
but an error message out of nm -B. This is fixable by nm'ing *nm
itself* (since we necessarily have a path to it).
- the test is entirely skipped if NM is set in the environment, on the
grounds that the user has overridden the test: but the user cannot
reasonably be expected to know that libtool wants not only nm but
also flags forcing BSD-format output. Worse yet, one such "user" is
the top-level Cygnus configure script, which neither tests for
nor specifies any BSD-format flags. So platforms needing BSD-format
flags always fail to set them when run in a Cygnus tree, breaking
-export-symbols-regex on such platforms. Libtool also needs to
augment $LD on some platforms, but this is done unconditionally,
augmenting whatever the user specified: the nm check should do the
same.
One wrinkle: if the user has overridden $NM, a path might have been
provided: so we use the user-specified path if there was one, and
otherwise do the path search as usual. (If the nm specified doesn't
work, this might lead to a few extra pointless path searches -- but
the test is going to fail anyway, so that's not a problem.)
(Tested with NM unset, and set to nm, /usr/bin/nm, my-nm where my-nm is a
symlink to /usr/bin/nm on the PATH, and /not-on-the-path/my-nm where
*that* is a symlink to /usr/bin/nm.)

The configure scripts were regenerated with 2.69 for the newlib-4.2.0
release in 484d2ebf8d825b28af47b8ee88cd845f1d2c7c6e, but the aclocal
files were not. Do that now to avoid confusion between the two as to
which version of autoconf was used.
Since automake deprecated the INCLUDES name in favor of AM_CPPFLAGS,
change all existing users over. The generated code is the same since
the two variables have been used in the same exact places by design.
There are other cleanups to be done, but lets focus on just renaming
here so we can upgrade to a newer automake version w/out triggering
new warnings.
The 'cygnus' option was removed from automake 1.13 in 2012, so the
presence of this option prevents that or a later version of automake
being used.
A check-list of the effects of '--cygnus' from the automake 1.12
documentation, and steps taken (where possible) to preserve those
effects (See also this thread [1] for discussion on that):
[1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-03/msg00048.html
1. The foreign strictness is implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
2. The options no-installinfo, no-dependencies and no-dist are implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
Future work: Remove no-dependencies and any explicit header dependencies,
and use automatic dependency tracking instead. Are there explicit rules
which are now redundant to removing no-installinfo and no-dist?
3. The macro AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is required.
Already present in newlib/acinclude.m4
Note that maintainer-mode is still disabled by default.
4. Info files are always created in the build directory, and not in the
source directory.
This appears to be an error in the automake documentation describing
'--cygnus' [2]. newlib's info files are generated in the source
directory, and no special steps are needed to keep doing that.
[2] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-04/msg00028.html
5. texinfo.tex is not required if a Texinfo source file is specified.
(The assumption is that the file will be supplied, but in a place that
automake cannot find.)
This effect is overriden by an explicit setting of the TEXINFO_TEX
variable (the directory part of which is fed into texi2X via the
TEXINPUTS environment variable).
6. Certain tools will be searched for in the build tree as well as in the
user's PATH. These tools are runtest, expect, makeinfo and texi2dvi.
For obscure automake reasons, this effect of '--cygnus' is not active
for makeinfo in newlib's configury.
However, there appears to be top-level configury which selects in-tree
runtest, expect and makeinfo, if present. So, if that works as it
appears, this effect is preserved. If not, this may cause problem if
anyone is building those tools in-tree.
This effect is not preserved for texi2dvi. This may cause problems if
anyone is building texinfo in-tree.
If needed, explicit checks for those tools looking in places relative to
$(top_srcdir)/../ as well as in PATH could be added.
7. The check target doesn't depend on all.
This effect is not preseved. The check target now depends on the all
target.
This concern seems somewhat academic given the current state of the
testsuite.
Also note that this doesn't touch libgloss.
As discussed in GCC bug 97088
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=97088), parameters in
prototypes of library functions should use reserved names, or no name
at all.
This patch moves the internal struct __tzrule_struct to its own
internal header sys/_tz_structs.h. This is included from newlib's
time code as well as from Cygwin's localtime wrapper.

The current gamma, gamma_r, gammaf and gammaf_r functions return
|gamma(x)| instead of ln(|gamma(x)|) due to a change made back in 2002
to the __ieee754_gamma_r implementation. This patch fixes that, making
all of these functions map too their lgamma equivalents.
To fix the underlying bug, the __ieee754_gamma functions have been
changed to return gamma(x), removing the _r variants as those are no
longer necessary. Their names have been changed to __ieee754_tgamma to
avoid potential confusion from users.
Now that the __ieee754_tgamma functions return the correctly signed
value, the tgamma functions have been modified to use them.
libm.a now exposes the following gamma functions:
ln(|gamma(x)|):
__ieee754_lgamma_r
__ieee754_lgammaf_r
lgamma
lgamma_r
gamma
gamma_r
lgammaf
lgammaf_r
gammaf
gammaf_r
lgammal (on machines where long double is double)
gamma(x):
__ieee754_tgamma
__ieee754_tgammaf
tgamma
tgammaf
tgammal (on machines where long double is double)
Additional aliases for any of the above functions can be added if
necessary; in particular, I'm not sure if we need to include
__ieee754_gamma*_r functions (which would return ln(|(gamma(x)|).

This change solves a glibc/BSD compatibility problem.
glibc and BSD use double underscore types for internal types. The Linux
port of Newlib uses some glibc provided internal type definitions which
are not protected by guard defines, e.g. __off_t. To avoid a conflict
Newlib uses single underscore types for some internal types, e.g.
_off_t. However, for BSD compatibility we have to define the internal
types with double underscore names in <sys/_types.h>.
The header file <machine/types.h> is Newlib-specific. It was used
instead of <sys/_types.h> to provide the internal type definitions
_CLOCK_T, _TIME_T_, _CLOCKID_T_, _TIMER_T_, and __suseconds_t. Move
these definitions to <sys/_types.h> (there exist two instances of this
file, one for Linux and one for all other targets). This makes the
_HAVE_SYSTYPES configuration define obsolete (could possibly break the
__RDOS__ target). Use the standard <sys/_types.h> include throughout.
Move __loff_t defintion to default (non-Linux) <sys/_types.h>. Define
it via _off64_t to avoid a dependency on the compiler.
Provide the __off_t definition via default (non-Linux) <sys/_types.h>
based on _off_t for all systems except Cygwin. For Cygwin use _off64_t.
Define off_t via __off_t.
Provide the __pid_t definition via default (non-Linux) <sys/_types.h>.
This prevents a potential __pid_t and pid_t incompatibility. Add BSD
guard defines for pid_t.

Currently, the newlib version information needs to be updated in two places:
- newlib/acinclude.m4
- newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h
The goal of this patch is to:
- supply a single location for defining the newlib version
information: newlib/acinclude.m4
- define __NEWLIB__, __NEWLIB_MINOR__ and __NEWLIB_PATCHLEVEL__
This is in line with what gcc does for its version macros. See:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Common-Predefined-Macros.html
This patch moves the definition of the _NEWLIB_VERSION, __NEWLIB__
and __NEWLIB_MINOR__ macros from newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h,
to the newly generated newlib/_newlib_version.h file. Additionally,
the __NEWLIB_PATCHLEVEL__ macro was created, for completeness.
In order to stay backwards compatible, newlib/_newlib_version.h gets
included by newlib/newlib.h and newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h.
Note: This patch does _not_ include the modifications to the following
files, as these should all be generated any way.
*Makefile.in,
*aclocal.m4,
*configure
