Thanks for your many useful and constructive comments!
I have removed the various patches to config.sub, config.quess, Makeconfig,
Makerules, and versions.awk. These are now unnecessary due to recent
compiler fixes and configure project updates.
The patch to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.in is simply following the
precedent established by other architectures to
* set arch_minimum_kernel to 2.4.19
* set libc_cv_slibdir to /lib64
* Define an arch specific ldd-rewrite.sed script
I don't see the necessity to change this.
