Applications ended up with copy relocations for this array, which
resulted in libc's references to this array pointing to the
application's copy. The dynamic linker, however, can require this array
before the application is relocated, and therefore before the
application's copy of this array is initialized. This resulted in
garbage being loaded into FPSCR before executing main, which violated
the ABI.
We fix this by putting the array in crt1 and making the libc copy
private. This prevents libc's reference to the array from pointing to
an uninitialized copy in the application.
the definition was found to be incorrect at least for powerpc, and
fixing this cleanly requires making the definition arch-specific. this
will allow cleaning up the definition for other archs to make it more
specific, and reversing some of the ugliness (time_t hacks) introduced
with the x32 port.
this first commit simply copies the existing definition to each arch
without any changes. this is intentional, to make it easier to review
changes made on a per-arch basis.
linux, gcc, etc. all use "sh" as the name for the superh arch. there
was already some inconsistency internally in musl: the dynamic linker
was searching for "ld-musl-sh.path" as its path file despite its own
name being "ld-musl-superh.so.1". there was some sentiment in both
directions as to how to resolve the inconsistency, but overall "sh"
was favored.
