to make asynchronous RPCs. This is needed to help fix ypbind, which can no
longer override the clnt_dg_call() method (formerly the clntudp_call()
method) due to all the internal descriptor locking code in TI-RPC. Turning
on this flag allows us to send an RPC request, then return immediately,
and handle a reply later, rather than being forced to do the request
and reply in a single function call.
Also fix a byte ordering bug: when clnt_dg_call() increments the XID
prior to transmitting a request, it uses the raw value, which is wrong.
The XID is stored in network byte order, i.e. big-endian. The CLSET_XID
and CLGET_XID commands in clnt_dg_control() use ntohl()/htonl() to get
the byte ordering right, but because clnt_dg_call() does not do this,
using CLSET_XID/CLGET_XID doesn't actually work, unless you're on a
big endian host, which we aren't (yet). Fix clnt_dg_call() to byte swap
properly when doing the increment.
because rpcb_clnt.h is generated during buildworld and only installed into

These functions, upon reflection and discussion, are too generically

Also the api that they use, whilst ok for private use, isn't good

Additionally there were complications with the build/install-world

There is work in progress to address future problems that may be

dlopen() and the shared object has an init function which requires
lazy binding, then _rtld_bind is called when the thread is already

This work-around makes the default locking functions handle recursive

about that in both the man page and the header file.
functions to be used by the dynamic linker. This can be called by
threads packages at start-up time. I will add the call to libc_r
soon.
Also add a default locking method that is used up until dllockinit()
is called. The default method works by blocking SIGVTALRM, SIGPROF,
and SIGALRM in critical sections. It is based on the observation
that most user-space threads packages implement thread preemption
with one of these signals (usually SIGVTALRM).
The dynamic linker has never been reentrant, but it became less
reentrant in revision 1.34 of "src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c".
Starting with that revision, multiple threads each doing lazy
binding could interfere with each other. The usual symptom was
that a symbol was falsely reported as undefined at start-up time.
It was rare but not unseen. This commit fixes it.
