24 /* This file's macros are included implicitly in the compilation of every
25 file in the C library by -imacros.
27 We include config.h which is generated by configure.
28 It should define for us the following symbols:
30 * HAVE_ASM_SET_DIRECTIVE if we have `.set B, A' instead of `A = B'.
31 * ASM_GLOBAL_DIRECTIVE with `.globl' or `.global'.
32 * HAVE_GNU_LD if using GNU ld, with support for weak symbols in a.out,
33 and for symbol set and warning messages extensions in a.out and ELF.
34 * HAVE_ELF if using ELF, which supports weak symbols using `.weak'.
35 * HAVE_ASM_WEAK_DIRECTIVE if we have weak symbols using `.weak'.
36 * HAVE_ASM_WEAKEXT_DIRECTIVE if we have weak symbols using `.weakext'.
40 /* This is defined for the compilation of all C library code. features.h
41 tests this to avoid inclusion of stubs.h while compiling the library,
42 before stubs.h has been generated. Some library code that is shared
43 with other packages also tests this symbol to see if it is being
44 compiled as part of the C library. We must define this before including
45 config.h, because it makes some definitions conditional on whether libc
