[PATCH] Fix a number of build problems found on Solaris and NetBSD (was Re: Oh dear. I regret to inform you that commit 0e65dfbaf3a0299e4837216a103c28625d4b4f1d might be unfortunate)

It is based on commit 9698cf9b1c485edbbeabc9f65bfd0fdef92e3854, for what
it's worth.

Unlikely. This definition is only used for platforms that don't have an
off64_t already, and is only used for the size of ctf_sect_t.offset.
Platforms on which off_t is 32-bit and without a 64-bit off_t will
presumably have a 32-bit limit on the size of their binaries, too, so it
is not a limitation to restrict section offsets to 32-bit.

(However... we don't *use* the offset field in any case. If we don't
mind losing things from the ctf_sect_t, we *could* just entirely drop
that field, and the cts_type and cts_flags as well. None are used since
the old ELF reading code was dropped.)

... yeah, I'll rejig things that way. It's easier. There's no point
going through portability trouble for a field we're not even *using*.

... found an outright bug in the process: we were sometimes failing to
set the section size when opening associated string and symbol tables.
Fixed at the same time (it was right next to a line we were removing).

As previously noted, the formats are incompatible (and will get more so:
there are a number of huge size reductions that can be made, all of
which are of course format changes).

I can, however, add backward-compatibility code to dynamically upgrade
the old CTF format to the new one at open time, if this seems to be
useful. (It's not too different from our format v1). I'm just skeptical
that it *is* useful, since CTF info is mostly found in OS kernels so
far, and is in a differently-named section.

... new patch (though I'm not sure you'll be able to apply it any more
than you could apply the last one). Observe lack of dependence on
off64_t :)

Still builds on Solaris. :)

Atop 9698cf9b1c485edbbeabc9f65bfd0fdef92e3854 (on the grounds that the
following two commits should be reverted as no longer necessary and
overly restrictive).

commit 3b0ccc60eff83939d8d3958c882795c0d958e3a0
Author: Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com>
Date:   Wed May 29 15:07:06 2019 +0100

    Fix a number of build problems found on Solaris and NetBSD
    
    - Use of nonportable <endian.h>
    - Use of qsort_r
    - Use of zlib without appropriate magic to pull in the binutils zlib
    - Use of off64_t without checking (fixed by dropping the unused fields
      that need off64_t entirely)
    - signedness problems due to long being too short a type on 32-bit
      platforms: ctf_id_t is now 'unsigned long', and CTF_ERR must be
      used only for functions that return ctf_id_t
    - One lingering use of bzero() and of <sys/errno.h>
    
    All fixed, using code from gnulib where possible.
    
    Relatedly, set cts_size in a couple of places it was missed
    (string table and symbol table loading upon ctf_bfdopen()).

+/* Order size using quicksort.  This implementation incorporates

+
+   1. Non-recursive, using an explicit stack of pointer that store the
+      next array partition to sort.  To save time, this maximum amount
+      of space required to store an array of SIZE_MAX is allocated on the
+      stack.  Assuming a 32-bit (64 bit) integer for size_t, this needs
+      only 32 * sizeof(stack_node) == 256 bytes (for 64 bit: 1024 bytes).
+      Pretty cheap, actually.
+
+   2. Chose the pivot element using a median-of-three decision tree.
+      This reduces the probability of selecting a bad pivot value and
+      eliminates certain extraneous comparisons.
+
+   3. Only quicksorts TOTAL_ELEMS / MAX_THRESH partitions, leaving
+      insertion sort to order the MAX_THRESH items within each partition.
+      This is a big win, since insertion sort is faster for small, mostly
+      sorted array segments.
+
+   4. The larger of the two sub-partitions is always pushed onto the
+      stack first, with the algorithm then concentrating on the
+      smaller partition.  This *guarantees* no more than log (total_elems)
+      stack size is needed (actually O(1) in this case)!  */
