Only build libm with -fno-math-errno (bug 24024)
Commit 1294b1892e ("Add support for sqrt asm redirects") added the -fno-math-errno flag to build most of the glibc in order to enable GCC to inline math functions. Due to GCC bug #88576, saving and restoring errno around calls to malloc are optimized-out. In turn this causes strerror to set errno to ENOMEM if it get passed an invalid error number and if malloc sets errno to ENOMEM (which might happen even if it succeeds). This is not allowed by POSIX. This patch changes the build flags, building only libm with -fno-math-errno and all the remaining code with -fno-math-errno. This should be safe as libm doesn't contain any code saving and restoring errno around malloc. This patch can probably be reverted once the GCC bug is fixed and available in stable releases. Tested on x86-64, no regression in the testsuite. Changelog: [BZ #24024] * Makeconfig: Build libm with -fno-math-errno but build the remaining code with -fmath-errno. * string/Makefile [$(build-shared)] (tests): Add test-strerror-errno. [$(build-shared)] (LDLIBS-test-strerror-errno): New variable. * string/test-strerror-errno.c: New file.
