Are these files from the architecture independent portion of glibc or
are they csky specific? If they are architecture independent, we might
want to see if they make sense for other architectures as well, and
add them to lib/ rather than arch/csky/lib/

Should the SPDX identifier list the original LGPL-2.1 license instead
of GPL-2.0?
