Detail:
  * No longer uses aasm to build h.swis.
  * (Only) compatible with new C compilers: assumes const static data is
    placed in separate read-only areas, and suitable command-line switch
    is used to ensure that library static data is never placed in a zero-
    init area.
  * Stack extension code now thread-safe.
  * Heap thread-safety code (in clib) now uses SWP instruction test results
    from stack extension code (in kernel) - as a side effect, the exported
    symbol _swp_available now exists, if you need to use it elsewhere.
  * Slightly closer to having top-bit-set heap addresses working.
Admin:
  Tested in a Tungsten build, and with Customer W's test suite.

Version 5.48. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_48'

Retagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_47'

Detail:
  * Implemented the thread-safety mutex macros for the user mode heap.
  * Created ansilibm, a version of ansilib suitable for building modules.
  * Fixed an overestimation of the size of the workspace passed to
    SharedCLibrary_LibInitModule[APCS_32] by the stubs.
  * Fixed bug in SharedCLibrary_LibInitModule[APCS_32] regarding handling of
    non-reentrant modules - if module code was at a higher address than the
    module data, then all the intervening data would be pointlessly copied
    back over itself with no allowance for volatility.
  * Removed the bsearch source file, since it was only required for APCS-A
    which the library has not supported since the year 2000, and which the
    compiler is now no longer able to build.
Admin:
  ansilibm builds working modules, but thread safety has not been
  extensively tested.

Version 5.47. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_47'

PCI added to swis.h
alloc.c updated to handle bigger slots (new code merged from ARM libraries)
Various 32-bit fixes for backtracing, and general trap handling.
Polite "Application is not 32-bit compatible" message.
Headers <stdint.h> and <inttypes.h> fixed to work in non-C99 mode.
txt changed to do new-style Delete behaviour

Version 5.44. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_44'

* Added two new library chunks, 4 and 5, which contain extensions to the kernel and C library respectively. These have no static data associated with them, just being extensions of the stub tables. The reason for this is to minimise wasted space in programs that don't use the C99 facilities; o.stubs is now a library split into 3 pieces - basic kernel and CLib, extra kernel and extra

  CLib; only the bits a program needs get included.

* Previous extensions to the C library stubs revoked - they now stop at _swix;
  all the new C99 functions now live in chunk 4. Anyone using those new
  functions should relink with new stubs and ensure this C library version.

* printf/scanf now support 64-bit types through "ll" and "j" length modifiers.

* Run-time support for VLAs (__rt_allocauto and __rt_freeauto) added. No
  attempt is currently made to clear up on longjmp or to cope with someone
  changing the kernel allocator while a VLA is active. These would be a
  future enhancement.

* Added complete 64-bit run-ti...

Version 5.06. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_06'

Merged Spinner branch changes onto trunk (new RCA messages files and Makefile changes). Convert to srccommit while we're at it.

Removed a few $Revision's to prevent future spurious merge clashes.
