Corinna Vinschen 63b503916d Cygwin: tls_pathbuf: Use Windows heap
Rather than using malloc/free for the buffers, we're now using
HeapAlloc/HeapFree on a HEAP_NO_SERIALIZE heap created for this
thread.

Advantages:
- Less contention. Our malloc/free doesn't scale well in
  multithreaded scenarios
- Even faster heap allocation by using a non serialized heap.
- Internal, local, temporary data not cluttering the user heap.
- Internal, local, temporary data not copied over to child process
  at fork().

Disadvantage:
- A forked process has to start allocating temporary buffers from
  scratch.  However, this should be alleviated by the fact that
  buffer allocation usually reaches its peak very early in process
  runtime, so the longer the proceess runs, the less buffers have
  to allocated, and, only few processes don't exec after fork
  anyway.

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
