* malloc/malloc.c (_malloc_internal): Performance fix. Move
if statement out of loop.
* stdio/_itoa.c, stdio/_itoa.h: Complete rewrite. Much faster
implementation using GMP functions. Contributed by
Torbjorn Granlund and Ulrich Drepper.
* stdio/test_rdwr.c: Include <errno.h>.
* sysdeps/i386/i586/Implies: New file.
New highly optimized string functions for i[345]86.
* sysdeps/i386/memchr.S, sysdeps/i386/memcmp.S: New files.
* sysdeps/i386/stpcpy.S, sysdeps/i386/stpncpy.S: New files.
* sysdeps/i386/strchr.S, sysdeps/i386/strcspn.S: New files.
* sysdeps/i386/strpbrk.S, sysdeps/i386/strrchr.S: New files.
* sysdeps/i386/strspn.S, sysdeps/i386/i486/strcat.S: New files.
* sysdeps/i386/i486/strlen.S, sysdeps/i386/i586/strchr.S: New files.
* sysdeps/i386/i586/strlen.S: New file.
* sysdeps/i386/memchr.c: Removed. There is now an assembler version.
* sysdeps/i386/i586/memcopy.h (WORD_COPY_BWD): Parameters did
not correspond to used values.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/nfs/nfs.h: New file. Simply a wrapper
around a kernel header file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Dist: Add it.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile [$(subdir)=sunrpc] (headers):
Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/local_lim.h: Rewrite. Instead of
defining ourself we use a kernel header file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sysdep.h (DO_CALL): Optimize system
call handler for i586.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/param.h: Add copyright and clean up.

This directory contains the version 1.09.6 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 i386-bsd4.3 i386-force_cpu386-none i386-gnu (for Hurd development only) i386-isc2.2 i386-isc3 i386-sco3.2 i386-sco3.2v4 i386-sequent-bsd i386-sysv i386-sysv4 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-1.09.6-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.
