Hi,
I've checked in a lot of changes. They mainly deal with a little
optimization. The names used inside the libc are unified. I.e., the
function write is now not any addressed using the name write and
__write. The benefits:
- a little bit faster since a function is never looked up with two names
- consistent interface which could be used for overloading
- smaller PLT (reduced by 80 entries)
- faster lookup for many functions since now the names refer to strong names
and not weak aliases.
I know that compiling generates a few warnings. I'll handle this now
(once the compiler has done its job here.)
