I do have some changes to commit to Unixlib and I need to check that
GCC4 still builds and runs correctly. Admittedly, I have neglected GCC4
recently in favour of GCC8, so all the testing I've been doing is with
the GCC8 build (autobuilder/develop/gcc).

Yes, that change was to improve clean up on program exit with
shared libraries and GCC 8.

GCC4 is still "abi-2.0", GCC8 is "armeabihf".
