[PATCH 0/4] dietlibc compatibility

I've started statically-linking git binaries against dietlibc to avoid having to recompile it for every machine/distro and chroot (lots!) I would use it in.

For building git (on a Debian unstable system with dietlibc-dev), I used the following make vars:

	CC=diet -v gcc
	NO_STRCASESTR=YesPlease
	NO_SETENV=YesPlease

The dietlibc setenv() doesn't seem very nice to **envp in git.c, resulting in $PATH being clobbered when it runs execve(). This caused tests to fail. Fortunately, gitsetenv() saved the day.

The following patches fix other issues I had with dietlibc.
