Added a comment to the abi_check related
part of configure.in

1) Disabled abi_check rule for all compilers except gcc
2) restored the -dI option to retain the header information.

1) Remove solaris sparc specific output produced by the
   pre-processor in the .out files
2) Ensure compatibility of preprocessor options for solaris/sparc
   platform.

fixed the abi_check rule to handle failure in the
diff command on the solaris platform.

1) When gcc -E is run in the Mac OS it introduces a line of 
   output that results in showing up as a difference between 
   the .pp and .out files. Removed this OS specific preprocessor 
   text inserted by the preprocessor in the MAC OS. Added a sed 
   regular expression to remove MAC OS specific pre-processor
   text.

2) Added the -w option to diff to remove the differences in
   output being caused in solaris.

This does not fix the bug. It only disables the failing test.

Modified the abi_check command to ignore space
differences between the .pp and the .out files.

If the server failed to expired log files during start up it could crash.

use thread-local data structures in ha_release_temporary_latches()

1) Modified abi_check rule to not write into the
   distribution directory.
2) Added the .pp files to EXTRA_DIST so that it will
   be included in the distribution

      
the reason for the failure is that io thread passes through a sequence of state
changes before it eventually got stuck at the expect running state as NO.
It's unreasonble to wait for the running status while the whole idea of the test is
to get to the IO thread error.

Fixed with changing the waiting condition.

- Revert the fix for bug 33812
- fixed a win32 warning

Problem: missing initialization, if the previous test
fails leaving table t1, client_xml fails as well.
Fix: adding initialization.
