Commit Message

Raoni Fassina Firmino May 18, 2022, 1:07 p.m. UTC
  From: Lucas A. M. Magalhaes via Libc-alpha <libc-alpha@sourceware.org>

Changes since v2[2]:
  - Rebased to apply cleanly on top of master.
  - Fixed two comments formatting.

Changes since v1[1]:
  - Applied review suggestions:
    + Removed unneeded comment.
    + Fixed error message casing.
    + Removed last references to FLAG_ELF_LIBC5 and FLAG_LIBC4.
  - Removed last references to FLAG_ELF and FLAG_ANY

After reviewing Adhemerval's suggestions[3] It was clear that with
Lucas refactoring removing libc4 and libc5 references, the last uses
of FLAG_ELF and FLAG_ANY were also not necessary anymore either, so I
removed both, and coincidentally in the same code part/neighborhood of the last references to
FLAG_LIBC4 and FLAG_ELF_LIBC5 that Adhemerval pointed out.

Tested on top of master (d2a1ec20976e0c03c50e35b58c8a0b5093e3643b)
with no regression on the following platforms:
  - powerpc64le-linux-gnu
  - powerpc64-linux-gnu
  - powerpc-linux-gnu
  - x86_64-linux-gnu (also built in 32bits/i686)
  - build-many-glibcs.py

The older libcs version are obsolete for over twenty years now. This
commit removes special flags of libc.5.so and libc.4.so. It assume that
all libraries cached are libc.6.so compatible and wrote FLAG_ELF_LIBC6.

We can in fact remove all ldconfig.h files, since either will use just
route to generic one (which is automatically selected) or define now
unused macros (csky for instance).  The rest looks ok.

We don't need this file anymore, the generic ldconfig.h will be selected
at build time.
