glibc's implementation of getopt includes code to parse an environment
variable named _XXX_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_ (where XXX is the
current process's PID in decimal); but all of it has been #ifdefed out
since 2001, with no official way to turn it back on.
According to commentary in our config.h.in, bash version 2.0 set this
environment variable to indicate argv elements that were the result of
glob expansion and therefore should not be treated as options, but the
feature was "disabled later" because "it caused problems". According
to bash's CHANGES file, "later" was release 2.01; it gives no more
detail about what the problems were.
Version 2.0 of bash was released on the last day of 1996, and version
2.01 in June of 1997. Twenty years later, I think it is safe to
assume that this environment variable isn't coming back.
* config.h.in (USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS): Remove.
* csu/init-first.c: Remove all #ifdef USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS blocks.
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/init-first.c: Likewise.
* posix/getopt_int.h: Likewise.
* posix/getopt.c: Likewise. Also remove SWAP_FLAGS and the
__libc_argc and __libc_argv externs, which were only used by
#ifdef USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS blocks.
* posix/getopt_init.c: Remove file.
* posix/Makefile (routines): Remove getopt_init.
* include/getopt.h: Don't declare __getopt_initialize_environment.
* manual/getopt.texi: Remove mention of USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS in
a comment.

The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global
variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has
instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables.
Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables
configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a
framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are
read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc
behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the
compatibility interface.
* manual/install.texi: Add --enable-tunables option.
* INSTALL: Regenerate.
* README.tunables: New file.
* Makeconfig (CPPFLAGS): Define TOP_NAMESPACE.
(before-compile): Generate dl-tunable-list.h early.

__libc_init_secure earlier...

Include dl-tunables.h, libc-internal.h.
(LIBC_START_MAIN) [!SHARED]: Initialize tunables for static
binaries.

Long ago static startup did not parse the auxiliary vector and therefore
could not get at any `AT_FPUCW' tag to check whether upon FPU context
allocation the kernel would use a FPU control word setting different to
that provided by the `__fpu_control' variable. Static startup therefore
always initialized the FPU control word, forcing immediate FPU context
allocation even for binaries that otherwise never used the FPU.
As from GIT commit f8f900ecb9096ec47f5b7bb7626e29223c69061a static
startup supports parsing the auxiliary vector, so now it can avoid
explicit initialization of the FPU control word, just as can dynamic
startup, in the usual case where the setting written to the FPU control
word would be the same as the kernel uses. This defers FPU context
allocation until the binary itself actually pokes at the FPU.
Note that the `AT_FPUCW' tag is usually absent from the auxiliary vector
in which case _FPU_DEFAULT is assumed to be the kernel default.
