+/* Support for clone call used on fork. The signature varies across the
+ architectures with current 4 different variants:
+
+ 1. long int clone (unsigned long flags, unsigned long newsp,
+ int *parent_tidptr, unsigned long tls,
+ int *child_tidptr)
+
+ 2. long int clone (unsigned long newsp, unsigned long clone_flags,
+ int *parent_tidptr, int * child_tidptr,
+ unsigned long tls)
+
+ 3. long int clone (unsigned long flags, unsigned long newsp,
+ int stack_size, int *parent_tidptr,
+ int *child_tidptr, unsigned long tls)
+
+ 4. long int clone (unsigned long flags, unsigned long newsp,
+ int *parent_tidptr, int *child_tidptr,
+ unsigned long tls)
+
+ The fourth variant is intended to be used as the default for newer ports,
+ Also IA64 uses the third variant but with __NR_clone2 instead of
+ __NR_clone.
+
+ The macros names to define the variant used for the architecture is
+ similar to kernel:
+
+ - __ASSUME_CLONE_BACKWARDS: for variant 1.
+ - __ASSUME_CLONE_BACKWARDS2: for variant 2 (s390).
+ - __ASSUME_CLONE_BACKWARDS3: for variant 3 (microblaze).
+ - __ASSUME_CLONE_DEFAULT: for variant 4.
+ - __ASSUME_CLONE2: for clone2 with variant 3 (ia64).
