The second one is in accordance with <strike>the prophecy</strike>  
Filesystem Hirearchy Standard 2.3:

http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/FHS_2.3/fhs-2.3.html#VARLOGLOGFILESANDDIRECTORIES

The first one isn't in FHS, and devtmpfs with Aboriginal's kernel  
config isn't providing "log". (It's providing "kmsg", but I dunno if  
that's the same thing.) Where does this data source come from and how  
would I set it up in my own system? (I'm not objecting, I'd just like  
to document how to use it.)

I applied this and the other two commands to the pending directory. I  
didn't apply the previous batch's libc or makefile changes yet.

For libc I mentioned that the ordering was used for fatal vs non-fatal  
signals, and restricted itself to the signals specified by POSIX-2008.  
This is adding realtime support (not in posix that I recall), and I  
need to work out how to do that cleanly and test it against glibc,  
uClibc, musl, and (if I can get a fourth test environment set up)  
bionic.

As for the makefile changes: it's filtering out space during flag  
generation. Easier thing to do would be to filter out space in  
getflags, by adding a space character to the sed invocation:

  }

Let's see: grep NEWTOY toys/*/*.c | grep '"[^" ]* [^" ]*"'

I see that kill and timeout are both affected by this. Flags look right  
now, and I _really_ need to fill out the test suite to catch this sort  
of thing... Anyway, commiting the smaller fix.
