[patch] libc/stdio/findfp.c: Avoid infinite recursion

[Corinna Vinschen]

Hi,

I just applied the below patch.  It avoids an infinite recursion on
_REENT_SMALL targets.  This problem has been introduced by the patch
which I applied as aresult of the discussion in
http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2012/msg00107.html

The problem with this patch is that __sinit calls __sfp when running on
_REENT_SMALL targets.  It does so while __sdidinit is still 0.  But
__sfp starts with

  if (!_GLOBAL_REENT->__sdidinit)
    __sinit (_GLOBAL_REENT);

so it calls __sinit again, which calls __sfp again, ad infinitum.  The
applied patch handles this issue by setting __sdidinit before calling
__sfp, if the current reent pointer points to _GLOBAL_REENT.

	* libc/stdio/findfp.c (__sinit): Avoid infinite recursion on
	_REENT_SMALL targets.  Add comment to explain.
