* sysdeps/mach/hurd/ioctls.h (MDMBUF, ECHO, TOSTOP, FLUSHO,
PENDIN, NOFLSH): Undefine these at start if they are already
defined to avoid collision with termbits.h.
* sysdeps/generic/termbits.h (ECHO, TOSTOP, NOFLSH): Likewise.
(MDMBUF, FLUSHO, PENDIN) [__USE_BSD]: Likewise.

* sysdeps/mach/hurd/errnos.awk: Skip entries where the
error is 0. The "placeholder" entries recently added to
errno.texi convert to zero since `???/' is at the front of them.
* sysdeps/gnu/errlist.awk (errnoh): Likewise.
* sysdeps/stub/setdomain.c (setdomainname): Declare NAME parm
__const to conform with unistd.h.
* posix/regex.c (re_comp, re_exec): Use weak_function as
keyword in function defns instead of weak_symbol (NAME) after
the defn.
* stdlib/stdlib.h (random): Declare return type to be int32_t.
This directory contains the version 1.92 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-1.92-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.
