Tue Aug 27 17:45:21 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * Makerules: Add some test for correct version of GNU Make. * io/fcntl.h: Undo change from Mon Aug 26 22:22:17 1996. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fcntlbits.h: Place macros here instead. * sysdeps/generic/dl-sysdep.c: Initialize break address to avoid overwriting last page (OK, Roland). Tue Aug 27 16:20:37 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * resolv/resolv.h: Update from BIND-4.9.5-T3A. * resolv/arpa/nameser.h: Likewise. * resolv/res_init.c: Likewise. * resolv/res_debug.c: Likewise. * resolv/res_mkquery.c: Likewise. Tue Aug 27 15:47:04 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * elf/dl-error.c (catch): Define errstring element not as const. (_dl_catch_error): ERRSTRING argument is not const pointer. Initialize *ERRSTRING and *OBJNAME separately. * elf/link.h: Change prototype for `_dl_catch_error'. * elf/dl-load.c (_dl_map_object): Use separate variable for copied NAME to avoid `const' warning. * elf/dlerror.c: Make `last_errstring' variable not const pointer. * elf/rtld.c: Implement reading of /etc/ld.so.preload. This provides preloading even for SUID binaries. Add some more casts to avoid signed<->unsigned warnings. Tue Aug 27 15:40:28 1996 NIIBE Yutaka <gniibe@mri.co.jp> * posix/sys/types.h: Define loff_t. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/gnu/types.h: Define __loff_t. Mon Aug 26 16:31:33 1996 Thomas Bushnell, n/BSG <thomas@gnu.ai.mit.edu> * sysdeps/mach/hurd/setitimer.c (setitimer_locked): Tolerate NEW being null; in that case don't touch the timer at all (but do return something in OLD if necessary). Mon Aug 26 13:35:16 1996 Thomas Bushnell, n/BSG <thomas@gnu.ai.mit.edu> * sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/init-first.c (__libc_multiple_libcs): New variable. * sysdeps/i386/init-first.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/stub/init-first.c: Likewise.
This directory contains the version 1.93 test release of the GNU C Library. Many bugs have been fixed since the last release. Some bugs surely remain. As of this release, the GNU C library has been ported to the following configurations: alpha-dec-osf1 i[345]86-*-bsd4.3 i[345]86-*-gnu i[345]86-*-isc2.2 i[345]86-*-isc3 i[345]86-*-linux i[345]86-*-sco3.2 i[345]86-*-sco3.2v4 i[345]86-*-sysv i[345]86-*-sysv4 i[345]86-force_cpu386-none i[345]86-sequent-bsd i960-nindy960-none m68k-hp-bsd4.3 m68k-mvme135-none m68k-mvme136-none m68k-sony-newsos3 m68k-sony-newsos4 m68k-sun-sunos4 mips-dec-ultrix4 mips-sgi-irix4 sparc-sun-solaris2 sparc-sun-sunos4 Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a port, please get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu. The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points. Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations, we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is called `glibc-1.93-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk [129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port the GNU C library. The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. Please send comments on the manual to bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu, and not to the library bug-reporting address. The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what facilities you want it to make available. Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions.
