soft-fp: Define and use _FP_STATIC_ASSERT.
This patch makes soft-fp use static assertions in place of conditional calls to abort, in places where there are checks for conditions (on the types for which a macro is used) that the code is not prepared to handle. The fallback definition of _FP_STATIC_ASSERT (for kernel use only, as only relevant to compilers not supported for building glibc) is as in misc/sys/cdefs.h. This means that soft-fp only ever calls abort for _FP_UNREACHABLE calls in builds with GCC versions before 4.5. Thus, there is no need for an abort declaration or <stdlib.h> include, since the kernel code handles defining abort as a macro itself - and so this avoids any need for an __KERNEL__ condition on the abort declaration to avoid it breaking with the kernel's macro definition. That is, this patch is intended to make glibc's soft-fp code suitable for kernel use with no kernel-local changes to the soft-fp code needed at all. Tested for powerpc-nofpu that installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch. One explicit <stdlib.h> include had to be added to a file that was relying on the include from soft-fp.h. * soft-fp/soft-fp.h (_FP_STATIC_ASSERT): New macro. [_LIBC]: Do not include <stdlib.h>. [!_LIBC] (abort): Remove declaration. * soft-fp/op-2.h (_FP_MUL_MEAT_2_120_240_double): Use _FP_STATIC_ASSERT instead of conditionally calling abort. * soft-fp/op-common.h (_FP_FROM_INT): Likewise. (_FP_EXTEND_CNAN): Likewise. (FP_TRUNC): Likewise. (__FP_CLZ): Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/flt-rounds.c: Include <stdlib.h>.
