Let's suppose that /usr/tmp exists and one wants /usr/tmp/a/b
If one runs "mkdir -p /usr/tmp/a/b/" (the '/' at the end is
important), then a "File exists" error comes up. Example:
$ rm -rf /usr/tmp/a
$ mkdir -p /usr/tmp/a/b/
/usr/tmp/a/b/: File exists
This breaks gcc47 installation when C++ is enabled, and this
isn't the behaviour of mkdir on NetBSD nor Linix.
This patch fixes the above issue by dropping the trailing '/'.
. workaround for clang's stdint.h __STDC_HOSTED__ test
that causes the host stdint.h to be ignored for -ffreestanding,
causing a type to be double-defined in the kernel
. only use for single-page invalidations initially
. shows tiny but statistically significant performance
improvement; will be more helpful in certain VM debug
modes
. ipc wants to know about processes that get
signals, so that it can break blocking ipc operations
. doing it for every single signal is wasteful
and causes the annoying 'no slot for signals' message
. this fix tells vm on a per-process basis it (ipc)
wants to be notified, i.e. only when it does any ipc calls
. move ipc config to separate config file while we're at it

The bsd signal names are out-of-order compared to the minix ones.
I found out (the hard way) that the (MINIX-descending) ordered list of
signals in <sys/signal.h> does not match the (BSD-descending) ordered
list of signals in usr/src/lib/libc/nbsd_libc/gen/sig{name,list}.c
Beyond being unfortunate, it prevents the trap command of ash to handle
correctly a named signal; a funny test case is
#!/bin/sh
trap 'echo trapping signal BUS' BUS
trap 'echo trapping signal 10 (USR1)' 10
trap # show me what is currently trapped
As a quick workaround, I disabled the use of the libc-provided
sys_sig{name,list} arrays for ash, and reverted to the hand-made array
which is used by the less capable MINIX libc. It allowed me to use
pkgsrc.
