It also appears to revert the use of __rawmemchr instead of strchr in
explodename.c (which, unlike __glibc_likely/unlikely, would make the
generated code less efficient) - is that deliberate? Could you list
exactly which glibc-local changes are reverted in this merge without being
replaced by something equivalent?
