vfork() would not save the registers that the parent would expect
to have restored after execl() completed.
Specially that execl() would call execve() underneath, further messing
up the stack of the parent.
To avoid that, we fork() for now. Later we will revisit and cleanup
vfork()+execve() to actually have vfork() store all the register
that the parent expects to see, and not those left by execve().
In the original code, looking at the registers just before the call to
popen(), and after the call showed that r7 would get clobbered.
This would leave the caller with an invalid pointer, leading to all
kinds of data corruptions.
execve() is simpler that execl() in this case.

In 48527c3f74, we modified the soinfo
structure to remove an unnecessary variable. However, third party
programs seem to be relying on the structure not changing.
Add a dummy variable back into place to preserve structure.

This patch allows the debugging of constructors in shared
libraries and executables. It does so by ensuring that the
corresponding binary is visible to gdb before running the
constructors.

This patch ensure that __aeabi_f2uiz is embedded in our C library.
This is needed to avoid breaking certain applications when they are
loaded in ICS. It is likely that the issue is due to mis-linked
binaries generated with the stand-alone toolchain (the problem
should not exist if you use ndk-build), but this fix is easier
than asking all app developers to fix their custom build system.

sincos() functions would be turned into infinite calls to
itself if sincos optimization is applied to itself. See
gcc bugzilla http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46926
arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3 toolchain does not have this problem
because sincos optimization is entirely disabled. Starting
from arm-linux-androideabi-4.6 toolchain, we enable sincos optimization
in gcc.
This patch simply enforce -O0 on this function to minimize the
change.

When a fatal signal is received, we now write a message to the log
that looks like this:
F/libc ( 1540): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0xdeadd00d (code=1)
This is useful for debugging fatal signals that turn out not to be
fatal. This also changes the signal reset from SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL,
so that future non-fatal fatal signals are fatal.
The code that blocked SIGUSR1 to avoid being interrupted by the GC
has been removed.
Also, fix minor issues in format_buffer().

This patch changes the declaration of size_t on x86 targets
to test for the __ANDROID__ macro, instead of ANDROID
__ANDROID__ should be a builting toolchain macro, while ANDROID
is usually added manually during the build.
Testing against __ANDROID__ allows us to use the header when
using the NDK's standalone x86 toolchain.
This is related to http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19011
The bug was already fixed in the NDK platform headers, this simply updates
the C library one accordingly.
