3ca860a95f glibc: fix MIPS and SPARC builds for glibc < 2.24 with recent binutils
Backport two upstream patches to fix a build failure on MIPS and SPARC
architectures when using recent binutils versions. It appears that on
these architectures pt-vfork.S includes vfork.S (through the alpha
version of pt-vfork.S) and that the __vfork aliases are not
conditionalized on IS_IN (libc) like on other architectures. Therefore
the aliases are also wrongly included in libpthread.so.

The build failure looks like this:

/br/output/build/glibc-2.22/build/nptl/libpthread.so:(*IND*+0x0):
multiple definition of `vfork@GLIBC_2.0'
/br/output/build/glibc-2.22/build/nptl/libpthread.so::(.text+0xeea0):
first defined here

This problem was reported in Debian here:

I have tweaked them a little bit in order to not patch the ChangeLog
file, otherwise it will fail.
