Update.
2005-01-20  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@redhat.com>

	* posix/execl.c: Do not allocate potentially large buffers on the
	stack.
	* posix/execle.c: Likewise.
	* posix/execlp.c: Likewise.
	* posix/execlp.c: Likewise.
	(script_execute): Removed.
	(allocate_scripts_argv): New function.  Called at most once to
	allocate memory, not every time a script is run.  Adjust caller.

	* sysdeps/generic/wordexp.c (exec_comm): Add a few
	TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY.  Reorganize code to avoid multiple calls to
	exec_comm_child.
	(exec_comm_child): Can now be inlined.

	* posix/Makefile: Add -fomit-frame-pointer for a few more files.
	* stdlib/Makefile: Likewise.
