This tree has matured quite a bit in the past few days, although I still
have to do some regtests.

How hard I tried, I was not able to update the current IA-64 sample to use
newer versions (especially of glibc, currently using 2.3.6). glibc-2.3.6
needed special hacks and kludges in the code, and was really preventing
the merge with the eglibc code path.

So:
 - IA-64 removed
 - glibc-2.3.6 removed, hacks removed
 - headers and start files are now installed in the same step
 - glibc and eglibc share the same build procedure
 - the now empty headers step has been yanked
 - libc_finish is now empty, except for mingw32

Basically, glibc and eglibc now share the same build procedure, with a few
exceptions (some may be lifted later). Only the retrieval and extract steps
are different now (expected, one we get from tarballs, the other from SVN).

I would like people using glibc and/or eglibc on their targets to test their
current .config against this new tree and see what breaks before the release
(due for FOSDEM). Thank you!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
