* misc.c: Back out buggy changes to stack clearing code.
Reduce CLEAR_SIZE to 1/4 of original value to reduce time
spent clearing memory.

* finalize.c:
- Accomodate finalization requests for static objects.
(Will be required by hash synchronization. May be needed
in some configurations now.)
* gc_priv.h:
- Define MIN_WORDS. All allocation requests are rounded
up to at least this size. Removes a subtle assumption that
Java objects have a 2 word header.
* gcconfig.h:
- Adjust Linux/IA64 configuration for non-ancient kernels.
(Necessary fix for IA64.)
* linux_threads.c:
- Fix syntax error in currently unused code. Will be needed
for Linux/PA-RISC.
* malloc.c:
- Handle MIN_WORDS.
* misc.c:
- Handle MIN_WORDS.
- Change stack cleaning code to typically clear about one tenth
the memory it used to in the threads configuration. Occasionally
still clear more. (This is really a fix for a long-standing
and fairly significant performance bug with threads.)
* os_dep.c:
- Fix the code for finding the beginning of the data segment under
Linux. I believe this is necessary for some IA64 Linux
distributions. It will also helo other platforms, though those
may additionally require a gcconfig.h adjustment. (This basically
works around the absence of a data_start or __data_start
definition in glibc.)
* test.c:
- Handle rounding due to MIN_WORDS.

* gcconfig.h (DATASTART): Define as (&data_start) for PowerPC
Linux.
(DYNAMIC_LOADING): Define for PowerPC Linux.
* os_dep.c: Remove some special cases for PowerPC Linux.
* misc.c (GC_init_inner): Don't call GC_init_linux_data_start
for PowerPC Linux.
