Cygwin: fix new sigfe.o generation in optimized case
Commit 0597c84b9bdb ("Cygwin: revamp TLS offsets computation")
introduced a really weird problem when building Cygwin with
optimization.
First of all, the tlsoffsets file is broken with -O2. This
can easily be fixed by running the compiler with -O0 when called
from the gentls_offsets script.
But it gets worse:
When creating sigfe.o with optimization, the generated machine code
uses incorrect offsets: For some reason the assembler codes using
_cygtls.stackptr as offset value are assembled into machine code
using _cygtls.pstackptr as offsets.
And as if that isn't already absurd enough, renaming _cygtls.pstackptr
to, say, _cygtls.blurb, fixes the assembled machine code expressions;
they use the value of _cygtls.stackptr again.
So I changed gentls_offsets and gendef to use _cygtls.foo_p rather
than _cygtls.pfoo and that fixes the assembled code in the optimized
case.
No, I can't explain that. There's no system in that behaviour.
It looks absolutely crazy.
- convert gentls_offsets to a shell script, only running the target
compiler and gawk.
- Simplify cygtls.h. The new gentls_offsets script only requires two
lines with the "public:" keyword as markers. The comments are not
used anymore, the output is a preprocesses file without comments.
Align Makefile rules accordingly.
- Rather than generating perl variables and C #defines, just generate
.ecu statements and .include the TLS offsets file right from the
generated assembler file sigfe.s. It's the only place we really
need (some of) the offsets.
- Drop the target-specific name of the TLS offsets file and generate
it on the fly in the build dir. Fix configure and Makefile rules
accordingly.

newlib: xstormy16: move malloc multiplex logic from build to source files
Rather than define per-object rules in the Makefile, have small files
that define & include the right content. This simplifies the build
rules, and makes understanding the source a little easier (imo) as it
makes all the subdirs behave the same: you have 1 source file and it
produces 1 object. It's also about the same amount of boiler plate,
without having to define custom build rules that can fall out of sync.
We also realign the free & pvalloc definitions: common code puts these
in malloc.o & valloc.o respectively, not in free.o & pvalloc.o objects.
This will also be important as we merge the libc.a build into the top
dir since it relies on a single flat list of objects for overrides.
The mallopt symbol is defined in tiny-malloc.c, not mallocr.c, but
the Makefile in here tries to compile it out of the latter. This
leads to mallopt never being defined.
The build also creates mallinfo.o & mallopt.o & mallstats.o objects
to override common ones, but the common dir doesn't use these names.
Instead, it places these all in mstats.o.
So move the build define logic to a dedicated file and compile it
directly to make things a bit simpler while fixing the missing func
and aligning objects with the cmomon code.
