* version.c (banner): New static const variable, complete version
banner text.
(__libc_print_version): Use it, and use __write instead of printf.
* configure.in (sysnames): Don't cache the value, because it
depends only on libc sources. Merge uniquifying third pass into
Implies/parent expansion second pass. Report each unique name as
it is added in partial report string, terminated when finished.
* Makeconfig (sysdep_dir): Move defn before config.status rule that
expands it.
(sysdep-configures): Variable removed.
(config.status): Use its contents directly, tighten up a bit, and
include Implies files.
* elf/dl-open.c (_dl_open) [PIC]: Set PARENT to _dl_loaded if null.
* elf/Makefile ($(objpfx)$(rtld-installed-name)): Make a symlink.
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c (_dl_sysdep_open_zero_fill):
Add comment.
* elf/rtld.c (dl_main): Close _dl_zerofd after mapping deps.
* sysdeps/generic/machine-gmon.h [NO_UNDERSCORES]: Define mcount as
weak alias for _mcount.
* sysdeps/alpha/_mcount.S (mcount): Define as weak alias.
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.
