Description

A new API was recently added to std, and as a result a number of newlib-based targets are failing to build due to a missing definition for _SC_HOST_NAME_MAX from the unistd.h header. This PR adds that missing constant along with a number of other sysconf symbols that never made it into the crate for these targets.

Sources

https://github.com/bminor/newlib/blob/master/newlib/libc/include/sys/unistd.h#L354-L512

Checklist

  • Relevant tests in libc-test/semver have been updated
  • No placeholder or unstable values like *LAST or *MAX are
    included (see #3131)
  • Tested locally (cd libc-test && cargo test --target mytarget);
    especially relevant for platforms that may not be checked in CI

Thanks for the fix, I have a few small nits here.

Could you also move these constants to src/new/newlib/unistd.rs? We're slowly migrating to a structure that follows the source closer.

Sure, I moved the definitions and changed them to match the source too.
