(This is a revised version of
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-05/msg00596.html>.  This
version puts the common environment variables used by tests in a
variable run-program-env.  Various makefile variables are then defined
in terms of that variable and the corresponding -before-env and
-after-env variables, as suggested in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-05/msg00715.html>; by
including the common environment in variables such as
test-program-prefix, various scripts no longer need to be passed
separate variables but can continue to be passed just one variable as
they are at present.  Environment variable settings duplicating the
defaults are cleaned up, and settings on the build system are removed
in the absence of an identified reason they need to remain.  A
--timeoutfactor option is added to cross-test-ssh.sh.)

One wart in the original support for test wrappers for cross testing,
as noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00722.html>, is the
requirement for test wrappers to pass a poorly-defined set of
environment variables from the build system to the system running the
glibc under test.  Although some variables are passed explicitly via
$(test-wrapper-env), including LD_* variables that simply can't be
passed implicitly because of the side effects they'd have on the build
system's dynamic linker, others are passed implicitly, including
variables such as GCONV_PATH and LOCPATH that could potentially affect
the build system's libc (so effectively relying on any such effects
not breaking the wrappers).  In addition, the code in
cross-test-ssh.sh for preserving environment variables is fragile (it
depends on how bash formats a list of exported variables, and could
well break for multi-line variable definitions where the contents
contain things looking like other variable definitions).

This patch moves to explicitly passing environment variables via
$(test-wrapper-env).  Makefile variables that previously used
$(test-wrapper) are split up into -before-env and -after-env parts
that can be passed separately to the various .sh files used in
testing, so those files can then insert environment settings between
the two parts.

The common default environment settings in make-test-out are made into
a separate makefile variable that can also be passed to scripts,
rather than many scripts duplicating those settings (for testing an
installed glibc, it is desirable to have the GCONV_PATH setting on
just one place, so just that one place needs to support it pointing to
an installed sysroot instead of the build tree).  The default settings
are included in the variables such as $(test-program-prefix), so that
if tests do not need any non-default settings they can continue to use
single variables rather than the split-up variables.

Although this patch cleans up LC_ALL=C settings (that being part of
the common defaults), various LANG=C and LANGUAGE=C settings remain.
Those are generally unnecessary and I propose a subsequent cleanup to
remove them.  LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, and while LANGUAGE
takes precedence over LC_ALL, it only does so for settings other than
LC_ALL=C.  So LC_ALL=C on its own is sufficient to ensure the C
locale, and anything that gets LC_ALL=C does not need the other
settings.

While preparing this patch I noticed some tests with .sh files that
appeared to do nothing beyond what the generic makefile support for
tests can do (localedata/tst-wctype.sh - the makefiles support -ENV
variables and .input files - and localedata/tst-mbswcs.sh - just runs
five tests that could be run individually from the makefile).  So I
propose another subsequent cleanup to move those to using the generic
support instead of special .sh files.

Tested x86_64 (native) and powerpc32 (cross).

I only looked at the Makeconfig bits and didn't try to vet everything.  But
I'm happy enough with it now and any further cleanups can be incremental on
top of this.


Thanks,
Roland
