*Most significantly, we avoid using setpgid(), because it doesn't work and in fact corrupts the kernel's process group table.
*Also, work around tctpgrp() returning garbage instead of 0 on success.
This adds an implementation of tcsetpgrp that works by reading the process tables to find a process in the appropriate group. This isn't used for the main job control operations, though, since it might be relatively slow.
At this point, basic job control seems to work.
* Push/pop environment to make sure it is isolated from our parents and children.
* Make all environment vars (and shell vars) case-insensitive, consistent with GNO's internal handling of environment vars.
* Wrap putenv and unsetenv to make sure they are called with lower-case variable names, which is necessary to maintain consistency between the environ array and the kernel's internal representation of variables.
This should avoid strange behavior due to races when the parent has resumed but the child is still running the exec* code in libc, which mainly manifests itself when running at low speed.
We also change to signaling the child's completion with SIGALRM, and setting an extra alarm in the parent in case the child doesn't actually do it.
GNO's _exit (contrary to its man page) does clean-up for stuff like the memory allocator, which is inappropriate in a forked child process and leads to hangs and crashes.
*Use .null instead of /dev/null
*Account for GNO's dup2(), which non-standardly returns 0 on success
*Always call open with appropriate number of arguments
*Use STDIN_FILENO instead of (implicitly) 0
In particular, it will buffer information about children other than the one being waited for, so it isn't lost. It can also emulate a non-blocking wait by arranging to interrupt the wait with a signal.
This involved breaking things up into more segments in debug mode, since the code is larger. I also had to remove some unused extern definitions, which were causing link errors when debug code was enabled.
To enable debug code, pass "DEBUG=1" to make or build.gs.
This is a BSD-licensed poll() implementation by Brian M. Clapper. Its performance characteristics aren't as good as a "native" poll() would be, but this shouldn't be a problem in practice.
This makes "G" (goto end of input) command work as well as
/search_for_nonexistent_string: both will read to EOF now
even from somewhat slow input (such as kernel's "git log").

We don't have an INIT_FIRST, so let's rename INIT_LAST to INIT_FUNC
to imply that the function is called at program start-up.
Also: the priority argument for __attribute__((constructor)) isn't
used, so let's remove it.

The find utility uses a hardcoded value of 32 * 1024 as the limit of
the command-line length when calling 'find -exec ... {} +'. This results
in over 4 times more execve() calls than in coreutils' find.
This patch uses the limit defined in system headers.
Based on the patch by Bartosz Golaszewski <bartekgola@gmail.com>.

Fixes the following TODO:
stty's visible() function and catv's guts are identical. Merge them into
an appropriate libbb function.
Also makes catv behave exactly like coreutils' cat -v e.g. it'll print 'M-^I'
instead of 'M- '.

"losetup -d" was not complaining that LOOPDEV is missing.
"losetup -a" was listing only up to /dev/loop9.
"losetup -f" looped forever if llop0 was taken, and never tried
anything after /dev/loop9.
"-o" with other options (say, -r) had no effect.
