+ [BZ #15846]
+ * misc/getauxval.c: Include errno.h.
+ (__getauxval): Set errno to ENOENT if the requested type is not
+ found.
+ * misc/sys/auxv.h (getauxval): Document that it may set errno;
+ don't declare with __attribute_const__.
+ * elf/tst-auxv.c: Add tests for errno and type-not-found case.
+ * manual/startup.texi: Document that getauxval sets errno.
