Ulrich Drepper 0a54e4010f Update.
1997-07-26 04:14  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* elf/Makefile (distribute): Add genrtldtbl.awk.
	(before-compile): Add rtldtbl.h.
	(GAWK): New variable.
	(generated): Add trusted-dirs.h and rtldtbl.h.
	($(objpfx)rtldtbl.h): New rule.  File is needed by dl-load.c.
	* elf/dl-load.c: Rewrite.  Now use cache and look for shared
	objects in machine dependent directories.
	* elf/dl-object.c (_dl_new_object): Initialize l_rpath_dirs member.
	* elf/dl-support.c: Rename function to non_dynamic_init and add
	initialization for _dl_platform, _dl_platformlen, _dl_pagesize
	and call to initializer for search path.
	* elf/elf.h: Add AT_PLATFORM and AT_HWCAP.
	* elf/genrtldtbl.awk: New file.
	* elf/link.h: Add type definitions and declarations for search
	path cache.
	* elf/rtld.c: Add definitions of variables used for search path cache.
	* sysdeps/generic/dl-sysdep.c: Let auxiliary vector initialize
	_dl_platform.  Initialize _dl_pagesize early and use this value.
	* sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h: Add code for _dl_platform handling.
	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c: Initialize _dl_pagesize.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-sysdep.c: Use _dl_pagesize instead
	of calling getpagesize.

	* elf/dl-error.c (_dl_signal_error): Make message nicer.

	* nss/libnss_files.map: Fix typo.
	Reported by Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@vt.uni-paderborn.de>.

	* sysdeps/generic/strsep.c: Optimize case where separator set contains
	only one character.

	* sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_ccosh.c: Correct sign of result for real
	== +-Inf.

	* Makeconfig (binfmt-subdir): Assume a.out when not ELF.

	* sysdeps/generic/machine-gmon.h: Add warning about limitations of
	__builtin_return_address().
	* sysdeps/arm/machine-gmon.h: New file, use assembly to avoid
	above problem.

1997-07-25 16:24  H.J. Lu  <hjl@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

README

This directory contains the version 2.0.90 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 is known to run on the following
configurations:

		i[3456]86-*-gnu		GNU Hurd
		i[3456]86-*-linux-gnu	Linux-2.0 on Intel
		m68k-*-linux-gnu	Linux-2.0 on Motorola 680x0
		alpha-*-linux-gnu	Linux-2.0 on DEC Alpha


Former releases of this library (version 1.09.1 and perhaps earlier
versions) used to run on the following configurations:

		alpha-dec-osf1
		i[3456]86-*-bsd4.3
		i[3456]86-*-isc2.2
		i[3456]86-*-isc3
		i[3456]86-*-sco3.2
		i[3456]86-*-sco3.2v4
		i[3456]86-*-sysv
		i[3456]86-*-sysv4
		i[3456]86-force_cpu386-none
		i[3456]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

Since no one has volunteered to test and fix the above configurations,
these are not supported at the moment.  It's expected that these don't
work anymore.  Porting the library is not hard.  If you are interested
in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers by sending
electronic mail to <bug-glibc@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-crypt-2.0.90.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.ifi.uio.no
[129.240.64.21], 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.ifi.uio.no; 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.

Beside the separate crypt tar file there are some more add-ons which can be
used together with GNU libc.  They are designed in a way to ease the
installation by integrating them in the libc source tree.  Simply get the
add-ons you need and use the --enable-add-ons option of the `configure'
script to tell where the add-ons are found.  Please read the FAQ file for
more details.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
the GNU C library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the
GNU libc at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html.

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.

We prefer to get bug reports sent using the `glibcbug' shell script which
is install together with the rest of the GNU libc to <bugs@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.
Simply run this shell script and fill in the information.  Nevertheless
you can still send bug reports to <bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu> as normal
electronic mails.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions.
