For the trunk patches, you should post each unrelated change separately.
Remember, for each change that you also need to see on the 2.3 branch,
a bugzilla report is required.

Can you explain why this is needed?  This should not differ from other
platforms where it hasn't been required.

This one could go in.  Fix up the whitespace in the comments and post it
alone to libc-alpha.  If there are other missing R_M32R_* numbers, or ones
whose comments should be improved, do that as well.

Don't deoptimize other configurations to support yours.
If this is really necessary, conditionalize it on __NR_fcntl.

If you want it to be searched for the right thing is <>.  Using "" means it
will get i386/kernel-features.h if that were to exist.
