and the vendor.

support-files/mysql.spec.sh:
  Introduce a new macro "vendor 2" and set it to Sun,
  so that we can have a whole series of vendors if such events continue.

suffer. The problem was that when custom C flags were defined with in environment 
variable CFLAGS, WITH_DEBUG did not have any effect. Also, switch from 
WITH_DEBUG=ON to WITH_DEBUG=OFF   was not handled correctly .Expected is switch 
to with RelwithDebInfo or when custom compiler flags  are defined, to None.

Fixed the missing initialization of locker_lost.

This fix is not strictly necessary, but is desirable to re-align the code
from 5.5 and 6.0, and reduce the spurious code differences.

This will facilitate maintenance and help to apply patches cleanly, for merges.

Fixed failed assert on 64 bit platforms, introduced by the previous fix.

mysqld: sys_vars.h:125: Assertion `size == sizeof(T)' failed.

    Since 5.5 FLUSH TABLES requires unlocked tables so the old LOCK TABLES/FLUSH TABLES
    model fails. Use atomic FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK instead.

per-file comments:
  scripts/mysqlhotcopy.sh
Bug#42465      mysqlhotcopy fails with "Table '<y>' was locked with a READ lock" error message.
     Use FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK instead of LOCK TABLES / FLUSH TABLES pair.
     Keep the old scheme for older servers.
