The improvements are:
- use most of the default "Makefile" for standard packaging;
- also use the default ".gitignore" with for the derived assets;
- don't impose so many $CFLAGS on the user. GCC still needs to be given
the `-ffreestanding` flag explicitly for us to get a good binary;
- stop using ad-hoc tools/* scripts, and avoid the code-generation
anti-pattern overall on the build. Some of the generated files were
checked-in, and some were removed;
- remove empty files;
- use POSIX make(1) over gmake;
- add fuzz targets;
- partial "install" and "uninstall" targets;
- complete "clean" target.
The shortcomings are:
- only working on x86_64. More platforms coming soon;
- code is still messy: way too many warnings, GNU/BSD specific
extensions, inline assembly, and all kinds of unportable code;
- still only works with GCC and GCC-like compilers, and completly fails
with tcc(1) and cproc(1);
- the `deps.mk` file is being maintained manually. As I work on the
source files I'll finish automating its generation with `mkdeps.sh`;
- still seems to be coupled with Linux;
- still is missing tests setup;
- still uses `#include <$NAME.h>` instead of the correct
`#include "$NAME.h"` form.
The generated libgrovel.a did match the previous lib/libc.a 100%.

the arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.sh has been replaced with a generic
alltypes.h.in and minimal arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.in.
this commit is intended to have no functional changes except:
- exposing additional symbols that POSIX allows but does not require
- changing the C++ name mangling for some types
- fixing the signedness of blksize_t on powerpc (POSIX requires signed)
- fixing the limit macros for sig_atomic_t on x86_64
- making dev_t an unsigned type (ABI matching goal, and more logical)
in addition, some types that were wrongly defined with long on 32-bit
archs were changed to int, and vice versa; this change is
non-functional except for the possibility of making pointer types
mismatch, and only affects programs that were using them incorrectly,
and only at build-time, not runtime.
the following changes were made in the interest of moving
non-arch-specific types out of the alltypes system and into the
headers they're associated with, and also will tend to improve
application compatibility:
- netdb.h now includes netinet/in.h (for socklen_t and uint32_t)
- netinet/in.h now includes sys/socket.h and inttypes.h
- sys/resource.h now includes sys/time.h (for struct timeval)
- sys/wait.h now includes signal.h (for siginfo_t)
- langinfo.h now includes nl_types.h (for nl_item)
for the types in stdint.h:
- types which are of no interest to other headers were moved out of
the alltypes system.
- fast types for 8- and 64-bit are hard-coded (at least for now); only
the 16- and 32-bit ones have reason to vary by arch.
and the following types have been changed for C++ ABI purposes;
- mbstate_t now has a struct tag, __mbstate_t
- FILE's struct tag has been changed to _IO_FILE
- DIR's struct tag has been changed to __dirstream
- locale_t's struct tag has been changed to __locale_struct
- pthread_t is defined as unsigned long in C++ mode only
- fpos_t now has a struct tag, _G_fpos64_t
- fsid_t's struct tag has been changed to __fsid_t
- idtype_t has been made an enum type (also required by POSIX)
- nl_catd has been changed from long to void *
- siginfo_t's struct tag has been removed
- sigset_t's has been given a struct tag, __sigset_t
- stack_t has been given a struct tag, sigaltstack
- suseconds_t has been changed to long on 32-bit archs
- [u]intptr_t have been changed from long to int rank on 32-bit archs
- dev_t has been made unsigned
summary of tests that have been performed against these changes:
- nsz's libc-test (diff -u before and after)
- C++ ABI check symbol dump (diff -u before, after, glibc)
- grepped for __NEED, made sure types needed are still in alltypes
- built gcc 3.4.6
