correctly rounded sqrt() asm for x86 (i387)
the fsqrt opcode is correctly rounded, but only in the fpu's selected
precision mode, which is 80-bit extended precision. to get a correctly
rounded double precision output, we check for the only corner cases
where two-step rounding could give different results than one-step
(extended-precision mantissa ending in 0x400) and adjust the mantissa
slightly in the opposite direction of the rounding which the fpu
already did (reported in the c1 flag of the fpu status word).
this should have near-zero cost in the non-corner cases and at worst
very low cost.
note that in order for sqrt() to get used when compiling with gcc, the
broken, non-conformant builtin sqrt must be disabled.

replace bad cancellation cleanup abi with a sane one
the old abi was intended to duplicate glibc's abi at the expense of

except on non-gcc-compatible compilers (which it doesn't even support)
and was instead using an exceptions-in-c/unwind-based approach whose
abi we could not duplicate anyway without nasty dwarf2/unwind
integration.
the new abi is copied from a very old glibc abi, which seems to still
be supported/present in current glibc. it avoids all unwinding,
whether by sjlj or exceptions, and merely maintains a linked list of
cleanup functions to be called from the context of pthread_exit. i've
made some care to ensure that longjmp out of a cleanup function should
work, even though it is not required to.
this change breaks abi compatibility with programs which were using
pthread cancellation, which is unfortunate, but that's why i'm making
the change now rather than later. considering that most pthread
features have not been usable until recently anyway, i don't see it as
a major issue at this point.

don't define wchar_t on c++

make available a namespace-safe vfork, if supported
this may be useful to posix_spawn..?
