Nolibc assumes that the kernel ABI is using a time values that are as
large as a long integer. For most ABIs this holds true.
But for x32 this is not correct, as it uses 32bit longs but 64bit times.
Also the 'struct stat' implementation of nolibc relies on timespec::tv_sec
and time_t being the same type. While timespec::tv_sec comes from the
kernel and is of type __kernel_old_time_t, time_t is defined within nolibc.
Switch to the __kernel_old_time_t to always get the correct type.

The compiler does not know that waitid() will only ever return 0 or -1.
If waitid() would return a positive value than waitpid() would return that
same value and *status would not be initialized.
However users calling waitpid() know that the only possible return values
of it are 0 or -1. They therefore might check for errors with
'ret == -1' or 'ret < 0' and use *status otherwise. The compiler will then
warn about the usage of a potentially uninitialized variable.
Example:
$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
int ret, status;
ret = waitpid(0, &status, 0);
if (ret == -1)
return 0;
printf("status %x\n", status);
return 0;
}
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 15.1.1 20250425
$ gcc -Wall -Os -Werror -nostdlib -nostdinc -static -Iusr/include -Itools/include/nolibc/ -o /dev/null test.c
test.c: In function ‘main’:

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Avoid the warning by normalizing waitid() errors to '-1' in waitpid().

implementation for nolibc, using the vfork() syscall if one is available

As for fork() SPARC returns the parent PID rather than 0 in the child

Add support for SuperH/"sh" to nolibc.
Only sh4 is tested for now.
The startup code is special:
__nolibc_entrypoint_epilogue() calls __builtin_unreachable() which emits
a call to abort(). To make this work a function prologue is generated to
set up a GOT pointer which corrupts "sp".
__builtin_unreachable() is necessary for __attribute__((noreturn)).
Also depending on compiler flags (for example -fPIC) even more prologue
is generated.
Work around this by defining a nested function in asm.

organization and it's always a bit cumbersome to deal with. Let's merge
i386 and x86_64 into x86. This will result in a single arch-x86.h file
by default, and we'll no longer need to merge the two manually during

Inclusion of any nolibc header file should also bring all other headers.
On the other hand it should also be possible to include any nolibc header
files
in any order.
Currently this is implemented by including the catch-all nolibc.h after the
headers own definitions.
This is problematic if one nolibc header depends on another one.
The first header has to include the other one before defining any symbols.
That in turn will include the rest of nolibc while the current header has
not defined anything yet. If any other part of nolibc depends on
definitions from the current header, errors are encountered.
This is already the case today. Effectively nolibc can only be included in
the order of nolibc.h.
Restructure the way "nolibc.h" is included.
Move it to the beginning of the header files and before the include guards.
Now any header will behave exactly like "nolibc.h" while the include
guards prevent any duplicate definitions.
