The current libc is broken on many platforms duee to the __xxx_internal
changes. The problems I have seen so far are
1. Some platforms, like alpha, long double == double.
2. Some platforms, like alpha, xstat64 = xstat.
3. One library function can be implemented as .S, .c or a direct system
call. "connect" is one example. Not all variations are modified for
the __xxx_internal changes.
I will leave them to Ulrich to decide how to deal with them.
