It contains code that is not maintained in the official glibc source tree.
This includes working ports to GNU/Linux on some machine architectures that
some optimized functions tailored for specific CPU implementations of an
architecture, to be selected using --with-cpu.

An add-on for an individual port can be made from just the sysdeps/
subdirectories containing the port's code. You may want to include a
generated by Autoconf from sysdeps/CPU/preconfigure.in, and follow the
rules for glibc add-on configure fragments. No preconfigure file should do
anything on an unrelated configuration, so that disparate ports can be put
-into a single add-on without interfering with each other. Files that
-would go in scripts/data/ for libc go in data/ in ports.

Like all glibc add-ons, this must be used by specifying the directory in
the --enable-add-ons option when running glibc's configure script.
