  Not tested at all.  It looks to me like MIPS calls don't use a PLT per se,
but always load from the GOT and then do a proper tail call via register.
So I think the generic pt-vfork.c is safe even without IFUNC, but you tell me.


Thanks,
Roland

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/clone.S: Deconditionalize the code
	that was previously under [RESET_PID].
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/nptl/clone.S: File removed.

This appears to be a copy of the clone patch, not a vfork patch....

The generic pt-vfork.c gives a #error for the non-IFUNC case.  The AArch64 
version (which I now notice is returning void not pid_t, which looks 
suspicious to me) won't work for MIPS n32/n64 - for the 64-bit ABIs, gp 
($28) is callee-saved, and so the attempt at a tail call involves saving 
the caller's value and computing a new value, then restoring the old value 
of gp after the non-tail call before returning.  It might work for o32, 
but it seems simpler just to #include the alpha version for all three 
ABIs.
