Building for MIPS has been broken with GCC mainline since mid-July,
probably GCC commit 0eac9cfee8cb0b21de866a04d5d59685ab35208f "c, c++:
Extend -Wunused-but-set-* warnings [PR44677]", because the variable
perfect_match in elf_machine_reject_phdr_p is set unconditionally, but
only used if _MIPS_SIM == _ABIO32. Mark it with __attribute__ ((unused)),
which seems cleaner in such a conditionally-used case than making all
other logic relating to this variable conditional.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py (compilers build, which previously
failed) for mips64-linux-gnu.
Read directly into the mips_abiflags struct rather than reading the
entire segment and using alloca when the passed buffer is not big enough.
Checked with build-many-glibcs.py on mips-linux-gnu

On 32-bit machines this has no affect. On 64-bit machines
{u}int_fast{16|32} are set as {u}int64_t which is often not
ideal. Particularly x86_64 this change both saves code size and
may save instruction cost.
Full xcheck passes on x86_64.
I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.
