Undo setrlimit patch for 2.1.3

[Thorsten Kukuk]

Hi,

Cristian Gafton, Andreas Schwab, Andreas Jaeger and me have the opinium,
that we should revert the setrlimit changes for glibc 2.1.3. Which means,
RedHat and SuSE will ship the next glibc 2.1.3 without the setrlimit
changes.

The reason is simple: We have a binary incompatiblity between glibc 2.1.3
and glibc 2.1.2, but no new functionality or bug fixes.
All Distributors uses the stable 2.2.x kernel, and nobody knows when
2.4 is ready. So it doesn't make sense to have unused support for one
new feature.

Instead, we should try to release glibc 2.1.3 asap. In the moment we
have enuogh bug fixes. Then we should try to make glibc 2.2 stable
and release it with kenrel 2.4. In glibc 2.2 we have a lot of new
features for the new kernel, so we should try to release it at the
same time, and not months later.

Cristian, I hope the patch is ok for you ?

  Thorsten
