commit: http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/commit/?id=e6735556ed0a5e791ea81a015a90c130a0eea060
branch: http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/commit/?id=refs/heads/0.9.33

In C, signed integer overflow is undefined behavior.  Many compilers
optimize away checks like `a + b < a'.

Use safe precondition testing instead.
