Generally speaking I think you should make a bit longer sentences in
your commit messages, Thomas. One first reason is to think that during
reviews the reviewer has to scroll up to find the subject for the context
this sentence applies to. And doing so quickly encourages to give a little
bit more background to justify a change. I have a simple principle that
works reasonably fine for this, which is that a commit subject should
normally be unique in a project (modulo rare cases, reverts or accidents)
and that commit message bodies should really always be unique. Here we
see that it doesn't work ;-)
An example could be something like this:
Glibc has been passing argc/argv/envp to constructors since version XXX.
This is particularly convenient, and missing it can significantly
complicate some ports to nolibc. Let's do the same since it's an easy
change that comes at no cost.
Anyway I agree with the change, I wasn't aware of this support from glibc,
so thank you for enlighting me on this one ;-)

I'll use your proposal, fill it with more background and apply it. Thomas
