libc/glibc: do not consume parameters when parsing them

Currently, there are two constructs used to parse arguments in
glibc backends, one that consumes args as they are parsed, and
one that does not.

Always use the construct that does not eat args as they are parsed.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     3 

     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.

     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
