It also appears to revert the use of __rawmemchr instead of strchr in 
explodename.c (which, unlike __glibc_likely/unlikely, would make the 
generated code less efficient) - is that deliberate?  Could you list 
exactly which glibc-local changes are reverted in this merge without being 
replaced by something equivalent?
