Waiting on npx for these.

I will commit the tryldflag changes as-is, but the libpcc search needs
improvement.

Still need to figure out how best to do this...

Done.

Done on mips; microblaze does not seem to have working hard-float.

Mostly done. wordexp remains, and should possibly be reworked to use
popen or posix_spawn as its backend to avoid code duplication.

Still unsure how best to do this.
