This patch consolidates the nanosleep Linux syscall generation on
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/nanosleep.c.  It basically removes it from
architectures auto-generation list.

Checked on i686-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnux32,
arch64-linux-gnu, arm-linux-gnueabihf, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
sparc64-linux-gnu, and sparcv9-linux-gnu.

	* nptl/Makefile (CFLAGS-nanosleep.c): New rule.
	* posix/Makefile (CFLAGS-nanosleep.c): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/nanosleep.c: New file.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list: Remove nanosleep from
	auto-generated list.

Why the discrepancy?  I suppose both implementations could be called in 
a multi-threaded program.

Thanks,
Florian

I do not recall a reason why these are different, I will set both to
-fexceptions -fasynchronous-unwind-tables.  AFAIK -fexception is the
required flag for cancelable syscall to work correctly, while 
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables is make it work also through signals
(not really sure though).  So I would say to be safe we should set
both.

See <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00569.html> and 
followups for discussion of the circumstances when those options may be 
needed.

Interesting.  So the C frontend can actually generate code which invokes 
the personality routine (via the cleanup attribute).

I wonder if we can use this to make cancellation safer, at least within 
glibc.
