* login/pututline_r.c (__pututline_r): Fix handling of case where
getutid_r() fails with ESRCH. Reported by Miquel van Smoorenburg.
Wed Aug 14 14:10:54 1996 David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@azstarnet.com>
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/ioperm.c (platform): Change entry
for "Jensen" so _bus_base() returns 0 on that platform. Use
_bus_base_sparse() to determine base address of sparse memory.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/io.h: Enclose #include <asm/io.h>
and declarations in __BEGIN_DECLS/__END_DECLS.

* err.h: New file. Wrapper around misc/err.h.
Correct solution of multiple initialization problem by
Roland McGrath.
* csu/initfini.c: Remove global variable __libc_is_static.
* elf/rtld.c: Introduce new global variable _dl_starting_up.
It's nonzero during the startup.
* elf/dl-open.c (_dl_open): When _dl_start function is not
available (i.e., if in static libc) set `__libc_multiple_libcs'
to nonzero value.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/init-first.c (__libc_multiple_libc):
New global variable.
(init): Undo change of Fri Aug 2 03:12:40 1996.
Initialize `__libc_multiple_libcs' to nonzero only if this is
a shared lib called from a statically linked program and don't
call `personality' and `setfpucw' in this case either.
* sysdeps/generic/sbrk.c: Undo change of Fri Aug 2 03:12:40 1996.
Don't call brk(0) until `__libc_multiple_libcs' is nonzero.
* sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h (RTLD_START): Clear _dl_starting_up
before jumping to user code.
* sysdeps/m68k/dl-machine.h (RTLD_START): Likewise.
Fri Aug 16 04:59:01 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/init-first.c: Remove hack from
Thu Aug 8 12:40:20 1996.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile [$(subdir) = csu]: Use
-fkeep-inline-functions flag instead.
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.
