The disassembly is identical given some local patches I still have
and still get applied to gentoo and debian.
In practice it only matters that long-double-fcts is equal to exactly
"yes", but "no" or "no " is never used anywhere to make lists of
functions or ojbects or anything of that nature.

Done. I've removed README, and updated all ChangeLog.* for machines
which were moved to libc proper with the normal header you were
using. I've carried out the final update to ports/ChangeLog to
indicate README is removed and ports is no longer in use.
Please feel free to add stronger wording or another README that
says "Not in use." I think we're done with the source tree.
I have updated the website to say:
* New port discussions should be on libc-alpha.
* Use libc-ports to highlight cross-port issues so maintainers
need not pay close attention to libc-alpha.
* After the 2.19 release the ports add-on was merged back into
core project and is no longer used.
Cheers,
Carlos.
