Nope, those are they. I've committed them now.
I will have more next week.
If you want to do the clone and vfork consolidation changes for s390
yourself, that would be great. If you don't do it RSN, then I'll make an
attempt but you'll wind up having to tell me where I got some detail wrong
for s390. The clone bits are pretty entirely mechanical. The vfork bits
are mostly trivial too, but the pt-vfork.S compatibility bit (to do it
ideally) requires a little machine knowledge I don't have. Is IFUNC
reliably available for s390? If not, is it possible to make a pure tail
call to a PLT entry in s390? I don't even know what a tail call looks like
in s390 assembly.
Thanks,
Roland
