	Help the poor people with fast machines by making sure only
	one `ar' commands works on the library.
	* autolock.sh: New file.  Written by Tom Tromey.
	* Makerules (do-ar): Call autolock.sh shell script instead of
	directly using `ar'.
	* config.make.in: Make configuration variable AUTOLOCK which
	gets initialized by configure.
	* configure.in: Define variable AUTOLOCK to point to autolock.sh
	script and mark it to substitute.

	* string/Makefile: Add -fno-builtin for tst-strlen.c, too.

	* elf/dl-lookup.c (_dl_lookup_symbol): Allow self-referencing.
	Patch by David Mosberger-Tang.

	* sysdeps/alpha/dl-machine.h (elf_alpha_fix_plt): Optimize LD_BIND_NOW
	startup by moving Icache flush from here ...
	(ELF_MACHINE_RUNTIME_TRAMPOLINE): ... to here.
	(ELF_MACHINE_USER_ADDRESS_MASK): Delete; it is unused.

	* sysdeps/alpha/divrem.h: Update comment to reflect the actual
	calling conventions.  The code is already correct.

Sun Aug 11 01:06:42 1996  Richard Henderson  <rth@tamu.edu>

	* string/Makefile: Compile tester with -fno-builtin as we want to
	test our implementations, not gcc's.
