Fix from drepper. * nss/nss_files/files-parse.c (LINE_PARSER): Take new first arg EOLSET. Remove ; after `ENTDATA_DECL (data)'. Truncate line at strpbrk (line, EOLSET "\n").

Fix DT_SONAME lookup to use string table properly. * elf/rtld.c (dl_main): Set _dl_rtld_map.l_name from _dl_argv[0] when invoked directly, and l_libname from that if PT_INTERP missing. Set l_name from l_libname only if not set from argv. * time/europe, time/northamerica: Updated from ADO 96i. * stdio-common/tst-ungetc.c: Include unistd.h.

-#
-# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
