  Update for NetBSD 5.0.
  
  * m4/printf.m4 (gl_PRINTF_INFINITE_LONG_DOUBLE): Don't guess yes on
  NetBSD; the test fails on NetBSD 5.0.
  * doc/{glibc,posix,pastposix}-{headers,functions}/*.texi: Update info
  about NetBSD.

  Gnulib module: openat
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  glibc 2.3.6, MacOS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, AIX
  5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
  But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe.
  @item
  On some platforms, @code{fstatat(fd,"file/",buf,flag)} succeeds instead of
  failing with @code{ENOTDIR}.
  Solaris 9.
  @item
  For symlinks, when the argument ends in a slash, some platforms don't
  dereference the argument:
  Solaris 9.

  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{fstatat} may
  not correctly report the size of files or block devices larger than 2
  GB.  The fix is to use the @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE} macro.
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), @code{st_ino} is always 0.
  @item
  On some file systems, @code{st_size} contains bogus information for
  symlinks; use the gnulib module areadlink-with-size for a better way
  to get symlink contents.
  @end itemize
