Stack direction check and STACK_DIRECTION define is used by alloca.c and continuations.c. alloca.c is not needed with modern glibc or uClibc. Should I create a patch to delete it? continuations and multi-threading is enabled by default, so stack growth direction check can't be deleted. There's also memcmp.c. I think we could delete that one too.
