This update brings 64-bit POWER support in line with
other distributions and removes the 32-bit POWER support.
We specify clearly exactly what we support for BE and LE
64-bit POWER.
- The generic hidden directive support is already used for
preinit/init/fini-array symbols so we drop the Fedora-specific
patch that does the same thing.

- Require glibc-static for C++ tests.
- Require gcc-c++, libstdc++-static, and glibc-static only when needed.
- Fix --without docs to not leave info files.
The principal purpose of this change is to remove librtkaio support.
The Fedora system wide change request is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GLIBC223_librtkaio_removal
- Build require gcc-c++ for the C++ tests.
- Support --without testsuite option to disable testing after build.
- Support --without benchtests option to disable microbenchmarks.
- Update --with bootstrap to disable benchtests, valgrind, documentation,
selinux, and nss-crypt during bootstrap.
- Support --without werror to disable building with -Werror.
- Support --without docs to disable build requirement on texinfo.
- Support --without valgrind to disable testing with valgrind.
- Remove c_stubs add-on and enable fuller support for static binaries.
- Remove librtkaio support (#1227855).
- glibc-bench-compare.patch: Merged upstream
- glibc-rh757881.patch: Fixed differently upstream
- glibc-revert-arena-threshold-fix.patch: Additional fixes on top of this
- glibc-rh841787.patch: Fixed differently upstream
- Set MODULE_NAME=librt for rtkaio
- Fix up glibc-rh741105.patch to continue to work with latest master
- Move split out architecture-dependent header files into devel package
and keep generic variant in headers package, thus keeping headers package
content and file list identical across multilib rpms.
Create a new package glibc-benchtests with the benchmark binaries that
one may download and run to benchmark glibc for their machine. More
importantly, the glibc-bench-compare and bench.mk scripts can run
benchmarks and compare performance of two arbitrary glibc versions as
long as both versions have the glibc-benchtests package.
Usage:
Scenario 1: Compare two build numbers, e.g.:
/usr/libexec/glibc-benchtests/glibc-bench-compare 2.20-1.fc21 2.21.90-11.fc22
If a second build is omitted, comparison is done with the currently
installed glibc.
Scenario 2: Compare two downloaded rpms - only glibc, glibc-benchtests
and glibc-common are needed for both versions. e.g.:
/usr/libexec/glibc-benchtests/glibc-bench-compare -p <dir1> <dir2>
