the latter pulls FD_SET etc and it makes wine-1.1.27's winsock vs unixsocket
namespace dance unhappy. for more information, grep

gnulib, the implementation goes back to the AMD Software Optimizer
guide. A number of platforms will want to replace the C version with
assembler code using native instructions.
include path: the normal header files now include the "SSP" ones (which one
should note are not really named right: SSP and FORTIFY_SOURCE are independent
features).
Disable USE_SSP on targets where the compiler doesn't support it at all
(mips, alpha) or it's known broken (sh3). But enable FORTIFY_SOURCE,
without SSP, on those platforms -- tested on mipsel.
by the application, all NetBSD interfaces are made visible, even
if some other feature-test macro (like _POSIX_C_SOURCE) is defined.
<sys/featuretest.h> defined _NETBSD_SOURCE if none of _ANSI_SOURCE,
_POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, so as to preserve
existing behaviour.
This has two major advantages:
+ Programs that require non-POSIX facilities but define _POSIX_C_SOURCE
can trivially be overruled by putting -D_NETBSD_SOURCE in their CFLAGS.
+ It makes most of the #ifs simpler, in that they're all now ORs of the
various macros, rather than having checks for (!defined(_ANSI_SOURCE) ||
!defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) || !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)) all over the place.
I've tried not to change the semantics of the headers in any case where
_NETBSD_SOURCE wasn't defined, but there were some places where the
current semantics were clearly mad, and retaining them was harder than
correcting them. In particular, I've mostly normalised things so that
_ANSI_SOURCE gets you the smallest set of stuff, then _POSIX_C_SOURCE,
_XOPEN_SOURCE and _NETBSD_SOURCE in that order.
Tested by building for vax, encouraged by thorpej, and uncontested in
tech-userlevel for a week.
as __null with egcs 1.0 (GCC 2.90) and above. As several headers are affected
by this change, move the definition into a new header file, <null.h>, to ease
maintenance.
