The -Werror=missing-profile caused thread/zlib/lzma/lz4 detection failure
when build with profile-use, thus caused ZSTD_MULTITHREAD etc. is not
defined for profile-use, then there will be many profile mismatch information
in output and the final binary reports run error sometimes as below:
Error : ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter(ctx, ZSTD_c_nbWorkers, adv->nbWorkers) failed : Unsupported parameter

Sanity checks on a few of the context parameters (i.e. workers and block size)
may prompt an early return on ZSTD_generateSequences.
Allocating the destination buffer past those return points avoids a potential
memory leak.
This patch should fix issue #4112.
The NDK cross compiler declares the target as __linux (which is
not technically incorrect), which triggers the enablement of _GNU_SOURCE
in the newly added code that requires the presence of qsort_r() used
in the COVER dictionary code.
Even though the NDK uses llvm/libc, it doesn't declare qsort_r()
in the stdlib.h header.
The build fix is to only activate the _GNU_SOURCE macro if the OS is
*not* Android, as then we will fallback to the C90 compliant code.
This patch should solve the reported issue number #4103.
- add option to force a specific block type
- add option to force a specific literal tyle
- add option to generate only frame headers
- add option to skip generating magic numbers

Commit f4dbfce79cb2b82fb496fcd2518ecd3315051b7d ("define LIB_SRCDIR
and LIB_BINDIR") significantly reworked the build logic, but in its
introduction of LIB_BINDIR a typo was made.
It was introduced as such:
+LIB_SRCDIR ?= $(dir $(realpath $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))
+LIB_BINDIR ?= $(LIBSRC_DIR)
But the definition of LIB_BINDIR has a typo: it should use
$(LIB_SRCDIR) not $(LIBSRC_DIR).
Due to this, $(LIB_BINDIR) is empty, therefore in programs/Makefile,
-L$(LIB_BINDIR) is expanded to just -L, and consequently when trying
to link the "zstd" binary with the libzstd library, it cannot find it:
host/lib/gcc/powerpc64-buildroot-linux-gnu/13.3.0/../../../../powerpc64-buildroot-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lzstd: No such file or directory
This commit fixes the build by fixing this typo.

Using '--single-thread' with '--patch-from' on compression levels above 15 will lead to significantly worse compression ratios.
Corrected the man page not suggest anymore to do this.
The two main functions used for dictionary training using the COVER
algorithm require initialization of a COVER_ctx_t where a call
to qsort() is performed.
The issue is that the standard C99 qsort() function doesn't offer
a way to pass an extra parameter for the comparison function callback
(e.g. a pointer to a context) and currently zstd relies on a *global*
static variable to hold a pointer to a context needed to perform
the sort operation.
If a zstd library user invokes either ZDICT_trainFromBuffer_cover or
ZDICT_optimizeTrainFromBuffer_cover from multiple threads, the
global context may be overwritten before/during the call/execution to qsort()
in the initialization of the COVER_ctx_t, thus yielding to crashes
and other bad things (Tm) as reported on issue #4045.
Enters qsort_r(): it was designed to address precisely this situation,
to quote from the documention [1]: "the comparison function does not need to
use global variables to pass through arbitrary arguments, and is therefore
reentrant and safe to use in threads."
It is available with small variations for multiple OSes (GNU, BSD[2],
Windows[3]), and the ISO C11 [4] standard features on annex B-21 qsort_s() as
part of the <stdlib.h>. Let's hope that compilers eventually catch up
with it.
For now, we have to handle the small variations in function parameters
for each platform.
The current fix solves the problem by allowing each executing thread
pass its own COVER_ctx_t instance to qsort_r(), removing the use of
a global pointer and allowing the code to be reentrant.
Unfortunately for *BSD, we cannot leverage qsort_r() given that its API
has changed on newer versions of FreeBSD (14.0) and the other BSD variants
(e.g. NetBSD, OpenBSD) don't implement it.
For such cases we provide a fallback that will work only requiring support
for compilers implementing support for C90.
