  To: libc-alpha; +Cc: pc

Add __libc_getauxval as an internal libc symbol allowing internal libc
calls to bypass the PLT.

This is leaving the ABI as it was: getauxval continues to be exported as a
weak symbol and __getauxval as a global symbol.

2017-05-24  Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho  <tuliom@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

	* include/sys/auxv.h: Add a prototype for __libc_getauxval.
	* misc/getauxval.c (__getauxval): Rename to __libc_getauxval and
	add the strong alias __getauxval to __libc_getauxval.
