Update.
1999-01-28 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de>
* sysdeps/wordsize-32/stdint.h (INT8_C, INT16_C, INT32_C, INT64_C,
UINT8_C, UINT16_C, UINT32_C, UINT64_C): Remove casts, they must be
integer constants. Use ## directly instead of __CONCAT so that
the suffix string is not expanded as a macro.
* sysdeps/wordsize-64/stdint.h (INT8_C, INT16_C, INT32_C, INT64_C,
UINT8_C, UINT16_C, UINT32_C, UINT64_C): Likewise.
(INT64_MIN, INT64_MAX, UINT64_MAX, INT_LEAST64_MIN,
INT_LEAST64_MAX, UINT_LEAST64_MAX, INT_FAST16_MIN, INT_FAST32_MIN,
INT_FAST64_MIN, INT_FAST16_MAX, INT_FAST32_MAX, INT_FAST64_MAX,
UINT_FAST16_MAX, UINT_FAST32_MAX, UINT_FAST64_MAX, INTMAX_MIN,
INTMAX_MAX, UINTMAX_MAX): Define as long constants, not long long.
1999-01-28 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de>
* locale/mb_cur_max.c (__ctype_get_mb_cur_max): Correct return
type to size_t.
* locale/broken_cur_max.c (__ctype_get_mb_cur_max): Likewise.
* stdlib/stdlib.h (__ctype_get_mb_cur_max): Likewise.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/vfork.S: Deleted.
