strict aliasing violations.
Post-merge fix: include my_compiler.h before my_attribute.h
as the latter will undef __attribute__ if the compiler is not
GCC. Based on the compiler version, in my_compiler.h we know
for sure whether the aligned attribute is supported. Furthermore,
undefining attribute might cause bugs if some system header
uses it.
include/my_compiler.h:
Drop aligned attribute support from Sun Studio C++ compiler
as its not clear exactly which version of it supports the
attribute.

strict aliasing violations.
Another rather noisy violation of strict aliasing rules
is the spatial code which makes use of stack-based memory
(of type Geometry_buffer) to provide placement for Geometry
objects. Although a placement new is allowed to dynamically
change the type of a object, the object returned by the
new placement was being ignored and the original stack-based
object was being casted to the new type, thus violating strict
aliasing rules.
The solution is to reorganize the code so that the object
returned by the new placement is used instead of casting the
original object. Also, to ensure that the stack-based object
is properly aligned with respect to the objects it provides
placement for, a set of compiler-dependent macros and types
are introduced so that the alignment of objects can be inquired
and specified.
include/Makefile.am:
Add new header.
include/my_compiler.h:
Add new header.
include/my_global.h:
Remove now-unnecessary macros.
sql/spatial.cc:
Make object creation functions return the object whose type
was dynamically changed by the new placement.
Move static method from the header in order to avoid having
to access a forward declaration.

Object creation callbacks now take a array of chars as the
storage area.
Move create_by_typeid to a source file as to not access the
forward declaration of Geometry_buffer.

Although the C standard mandates that sprintf return the number
of bytes written, some very ancient systems (i.e. SunOS 4)
returned a pointer to the buffer instead. Since these systems
are not supported anymore and are hopefully long dead by now,
simply remove the portability wrapper that dealt with this
discrepancy. The autoconf check was causing trouble with GCC.

Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
client/mysqldump.c:
Pass my_free directly as its signature is compatible with the
callback type -- which wasn't the case for free_table_ent.

Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.
One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.
There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.
BUILD/SETUP.sh:
Remove flags that are implied by -Wall and -Wextra.
Do not warn about unused parameters in C++.

POSIX requires that a signal handler defined with sigaction()
is not reset on delivering a signal unless SA_NODEFER or
SA_RESETHAND is set. It is therefore unnecessary to redefine
the handler on signal delivery on platforms where sigaction()
is used without those flags.
include/my_alarm.h:
Renamed DONT_REMEMBER_SIGNAL ->
SIGNAL_HANDLER_RESET_ON_DELIVERY.
include/my_global.h:
Renamed DONT_REMEMBER_SIGNAL ->
SIGNAL_HANDLER_RESET_ON_DELIVERY. The latter is now defined
only on non-BSD platforms missing the POSIX sigaction()
function.

Fix various mismatches between function's language linkage. Any
particular function that is declared in C++ but should be callable

block).
