This commit upgrades glibc shared library stub-creating code to use the new abilists file which is generated by the new glibc-abi-tool project: https://github.com/ziglang/glibc-abi-tool/ The abilists file is different in these ways: * It additionally encodes whether a symbol is a function or an object, and if it is an object, it additionally encodes the size in bytes. * It additionally encodes migrations of symbols from one library to another between glibc versions. * It is binary data instead of ascii. * It is one file instead of three. * It is 165 KB instead of 200 KB. This solves three bugs: Fixes #7667 Fixes #8714 Fixes #8896
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

License
The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
