Note that unlike the previous patches in this series, this *does*
require people with automation around testing glibc to change their
processes - either to start using tests.sum / xtests.sum to track
failures and compare them with expectations (with or without also
using "make -k" and examining "make" logs to identify build failures),
or else to use stop-on-test-failure=y and ignore the new tests.sum /
xtests.sum mechanism.
Tested x86_64.
Compared to the previous version, this includes changes to the manual
text as suggested by Brooks in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00301.html>.
This version looks good to me. Thanks!
I don't think my approval of the process changes is sufficient to indicate
consensus by itself, but IMO it's a very significant improvement and I am
strongly in favor.
