Joseph Myers 79520f4bd6 Use existing makefile variables for dependencies on glibc libraries.
glibc's Makeconfig defines some variables such as $(libm) and $(libdl)
for linking with libraries built by glibc, and nptl/Makeconfig
(included by the toplevel Makeconfig) defines others such as
$(shared-thread-library).

In some places glibc's Makefiles use those variables when linking
against the relevant libraries, but in other places they hardcode the
location of the libraries in the build tree.  This patch cleans up
various places to use the variables that already exist (in the case of
libm, replacing several duplicate definitions of a $(link-libm)
variable in subdirectory Makefiles).  (It's not necessarily exactly
equivalent to what the existing code does - in particular,
$(shared-thread-library) includes libpthread_nonshared, but is
replacing places that just referred to libpthread.so.  But I think
that change is desirable on the general principle of linking things as
close as possible to the way in which they would be linked with an
installed library, unless there is a clear reason not to do so.)

To support running tests with an installed copy of glibc without
needing the full build tree from when that copy was built, I think it
will be useful to use such variables more generally and systematically
- every time the rules for building a test refer to some file from the
build tree that's also installed by glibc, use a makefile variable so
that the installed-testing case can point those variables to installed
copies of the files.  This patch just deals with straightforward cases
where such variables already exist.

It's quite possible some uses of $(shared-thread-library) should
actually be a new $(thread-library) variable that's set appropriately
in the --disable-shared case, if those uses would in fact work without
shared libraries.  I didn't change the status quo that those cases
hardcode use of a shared library whether or not it's actually needed
(but other uses such as $(libm) and $(libdl) would now get the static
library if the shared library isn't built, when some previously
hardcoded use of the shared library - if they actually need shared
libraries, the test itself needs an enable-shared conditional anyway).

Tested x86_64.

README

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.  The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	hppa-*-linux-gnu	Not currently functional without patches.
	i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
	x86_64-*-linux-gnu	Can build either x86_64 or x32
	ia64-*-linux-gnu
	m68k-*-linux-gnu
	microblaze*-*-linux-gnu
	mips-*-linux-gnu
	mips64-*-linux-gnu
	powerpc-*-linux-gnu	Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
	powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu	Big-endian and little-endian.
	s390-*-linux-gnu
	s390x-*-linux-gnu
	sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
	sparc*-*-linux-gnu
	sparc64*-*-linux-gnu
	tilegx-*-linux-gnu
	tilepro-*-linux-gnu

The code for other CPU configurations supported by volunteers outside of
the core glibc maintenance effort is contained in the `ports' add-on,
located in the `ports' subdirectory of the source tree.

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 2000-2013, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
