include _ctype.h
Log:
Restore ctype(3) ABI forward compatibility in 6.x world. This was broken
with last ctype(3) single-byte and multi-byte separation for fixing
operating on UTF-8 locale. To be specific, we introduced a new symbol in
libc. And this symbol is referred via inline functions here. So, you can
not run a binary built with this version of libc on an older system. To
restore the compatibility, make these functions built as non-inlined
form (see lib/libc/nomarco.c) and MFC rev 1.32 which drops the usage of
that symbol in question for __isctype(). As this may impact performance,
I only intend to fix in 6.x, but not 7 (not yet released) and 8 (it's HEAD).
