there's no need to enable support for it separately
from 'tar.' (The call to enable gnutar support is
now just an alias for the tar support, left in to
avoid API breakage.)

accumulated wide character, set number and number of bytes remaining
to avoid having to derive them every time mbrtowc() is called.
certain flags set (e.g., schg or uappend) would fail because the flags
were restored before the hardlink was created.
To address this, I've generalized the existing machinery for deferring
directory timestamp/mode restoration and used it to defer the
restoration of highly-restrictive flags to the end of the extraction,
after any links have been created.

through byte by byte with mbrtowc(). In the usual case (buffer is big
enough to contain the multibyte character, character does not straddle
buffer boundary) this results in only one call to mbrtowc() for each
wide character read.
to the initial state when a stream is opened or seeked upon. Use the
stream's conversion state object instead of a freshly-zeroed one in
fgetwc(), fputwc() and ungetwc().
This is only a performance improvement for now, but it would also be
required in order to support state-dependent encodings.
followed are: Only 3 functions (pthread_cancel, pthread_setcancelstate,
pthread_setcanceltype) are required to be async-signal-safe by POSIX. None of
the rest of the pthread api is required to be async-signal-safe. This means
that only the three mentioned functions are safe to use from inside
signal handlers.
However, there are certain system/libc calls that are
cancellation points that a caller may call from within a signal handler,
and since they are cancellation points calls have to be made into libthr
to test for cancellation and exit the thread if necessary. So, the
cancellation test and thread exit code paths must be async-signal-safe
as well. A summary of the changes follows:
o Almost all of the code paths that masked signals, as well as locking the
pthread structure now lock only the pthread structure.
o Signals are masked (and left that way) as soon as a thread enters
pthread_exit().
o The active and dead threads locks now explicitly require that signals
are masked.
o Access to the isdead field of the pthread structure is protected by both
the active and dead list locks for writing. Either one is sufficient for
reading.
o The thread state and type fields have been combined into one three-state
switch to make it easier to read without requiring a lock. It doesn't need
a lock for writing (and therefore for reading either) because only the
current thread can write to it and it is an integer value.
o The thread state field of the pthread structure has been eliminated. It
was an unnecessary field that mostly duplicated the flags field, but
required additional locking that would make a lot more code paths require
signal masking. Any truly unique values (such as PS_DEAD) have been
reborn as separate members of the pthread structure.
o Since the mutex and condvar pthread functions are not async-signal-safe
there is no need to muck about with the wait queues when handling
a signal ...
o ... which also removes the need for wrapping signal handlers and sigaction(2).
o The condvar and mutex async-cancellation code had to be revised as a result
of some of these changes, which resulted in semi-unrelated changes which
would have been difficult to work on as a separate commit, so they are
included as well.
The only part of the changes I am worried about is related to locking for
the pthread joining fields. But, I will take a closer look at them once this
mega-patch is committed.

in the source, but not used.) Also, convert the constants to

Main ones: mostly use conditional expressions in ifdefs instead of a
mixture of conditional expressions and nested ifdefs.
Nearby ones:
- don't do less than echo the code in the comment about libc_r
- fixed some internal insertion sort errors and indentation errors.
