Commit Message

Matheus Castanho June 2, 2021, 8:43 p.m. UTC
Commit 68ab82f566 added support for the scv syscall ABI on powerpc.  Since then
systems that have kernel and processor support started using scv.  However
adding the proper support for a new syscall ABI requires changes to several
other projects (e.g. qemu, valgrind, strace, kernel), which are gradually
receiving support.

Meanwhile, having a way to disable scv on glibc at build time can be useful for
distros that may encounter conflicts with projects that still do not support the
scv ABI, buying time until proper support is added.

This commit adds a --disable-scv option that disables scv support and uses sc
for all syscalls, just like before commit 68ab82f566.

New configure options should be documented in install.texi (and INSTALL 
regenerated).
