For some casual readers of the Makefile, "mkdir -p" is
probably a little easier to read than the equivalent "-make".

"uninstall" is the GNU standard name for the target,
so it'll be the one most users are used to.

As Simone notes, RETURN VALUE says:
On error, (clock_t) -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately
but no value for errno is specified. The only error case is
EFAULT, so let's add that.

The wrapper function has a 'flags' argument (which currently
serves no purpose), while the underlying system call does not.

Here's a patch to the fcntl.2 manpage that explains
the working of F_GETLEASE in a bit more detail during
lease breaks. Basically, what happens is this: When a
lease break is initiated by a lease breaker, subsequent
F_GETLEASE calls return the target lease type after
the lease break and not the existing lease type. This
behavior persists until the lease holder downgrades/unlocks
the lease or the kernel forcibly does it after the lease
break timeout expires.
The implicit assumption is that F_GETLEASE should
return the existing lock type until the downgrade/unlock
has actually taken place, which is not true. I've verified
that the kernel indeed returns the target lease type. It
is also simple enough to verify this behavior in a small
program, where you can observe that the lease type
returned by F_GETLEASE in the signal handler for a
lease break is different from the existing lease type.

This patch applies to nsswitch.conf.5 in man-pages-3.36.
My changes almost completely rewrite large sections of the
man page. They are needed to add clarity, correct grammar,
reduce confusion, and bring up-to-date with the latest glibc.
I have checked the man page against the nss source code in
glibc 2.14.90.
Historical notes are demoted to the footer.
The rewrite makes the man page much clearer to
understand, more authoratitive, and easier to read.

Various fcntl(2) commands require an integral 'arg'.
The man page said it must be "long" in all such cases.
However, for the cases covered by POSIX, there is an
explicit requirement that these arguments be "int".
Update the man page to reflect. Probably, all of the
other "long" cases (not specified in POSIX) should
be "int", and this patch makes them so. Based on a
note fromEric Blake, relating to F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC.
