for those cases when gcc, cc-5.0, icpc or icc isn't in the path.

Fixed handling of 32 and 64 bits.

Downgraded Solaris builds on Forte to use -xO2 rather than -xO3.

Made it possible to build 64-bits on Mac OS X

Fixed some bugs in setting CC, CXX, ASFLAGS, LDFLAGS

Fixed bugs relating to use of SunStudio/Forte in check-cpu

Reorganized code a bit

Removed the use of --with-fast-mutexes since they aren't really
fast, rather slow.

Added -static-libgcc when using gcc

Added optimising compilation flags on BSD

Added use of curses library on Solaris

Removed the use of MY_ATOMIC_MODE_RWLOCKS which removed use of
atomic instructions

Added support for Forte on Solaris/x86

removed from SHOW ENGINE InnoDB STATUS

parameter innodb_thread_concurrency_timer_based is used to
get this new feature (it is set by default). The new feature
is only available on platforms where atomic instructions are
available.

according to recommendation from Intel.

Change defaults, now large page support is default if supported
Introduced super-large-pages support for Solaris to use 256 MByte
page size rather than 4 MByte.

Removed dependency on pthread being an int

                  
The problem here is that embedded server starts handle_thread manager 
thread  on mysql_library_init() does not stop it on mysql_library_end().
At shutdown, my_thread_global_end() waits for thread count to become 0,
but since we did not stop the thread it will give up after 5 seconds.
             
Solution is to move shutdown for handle_manager thread from kill_server()
(mysqld specific) to clean_up() that is used by both embedded and mysqld.
            
This patch also contains some refactorings - to avoid duplicate code,
start_handle_manager() and stop_handle_manager() functions are introduced.
Unused variables are eliminated. handle_manager does not rely on global
variable abort_loop anymore to stop (abort_loop is not set for embedded).
            
Note: Specifically on Windows and when using DBUG version of libmysqld, 
the complete solution requires removing obsolete code my_thread_init() 
from my_thread_var(). This has a side effect that a DBUG statement 
after my_thread_end() can cause thread counter to be incremented, and 
embedded will hang for some seconds. Or worse, my_thread_init() will 
crash if critical sections have been deleted by the global cleanup 
routine that runs in a different thread. 

This patch also fixes and revert prior changes for Bug#38293 
"Libmysqld crash in mysql_library_init if language file missing".

Root cause of the crash observed in Bug#38293  was bug in my_thread_init() 
described above

Not the final fix, only a temporary fix

There was a missing initialization.

with non-RSA-requesting client if server uses RSA key

matchSuite() may not find a match. 
It will return error in this case.
Added a error checking code that will prevent using uninitialized 
memory in the code based on the assumption 
that matchSuite() has found a match.

                  
Updated MySQL time handling code to react correctly on UTC leap second additions.
MySQL functions that return the OS current time, like e.g. CURDATE(), NOW() etc
will return :59:59 instead of :59:60 or 59:61.
As a result the reader will receive :59:59 for 2 or 3 consecutive seconds 
during the leap second.
This fix will not affect the values returned by UNIX_TIMESTAMP() for leap seconds.
But note that when converting the value returned by UNIX_TIMESTAMP() to broken 
down time the correction of leap seconds will still be applied.
Note that this fix will make a difference *only* if the OS is specially configured
to return leap seconds from the OS time calls or when using a MySQL time zone 
defintion that has leap seconds.
Even after this change date/time literals (or other broken down time 
representations) with leap seconds (ending on :59:60 or 59:61) will still be 
considered illegal and discarded by the server with an error or 
a warning depending on the sql mode.
Added a test case to demonstrate the effect of the fix.

by using and taking out a full path.

TABLE_LIST doesn't free Strings in its string lists
(TABLE_LIST::use_index and TABLE_liST::ignore_index), so
calling c_ptr_safe() on that Strings leads to memleaks.
OTOH "safe" c_ptr_safe() is not necessary there and we can
replace it with c_ptr().
