Patch by HJ Lu. * sysdeps/posix/tempname.c: Test for error but EEXIST after open call. If EMFILE, ENFILE, or EINTR return with error. Wed Dec 11 14:43:52 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * gnu-versions.h: Set _GNU_OBSTACK_INTERFACE_VERSION back to 1. We are compatible again. * new-malloc/obstack.h (struct obstack): Add back alloc_failed bit even though it is not used. * malloc/obstack.h: Likewise. * new-malloc/obstack.c (_obstack_begin, _obstack_begin_1): Initialize alloc_failed bit to 0. * time/strftime.c: Extend for Emacs' needs.

Always use rellns-sh if symbolic links are available. Tue Dec 10 20:09:51 1996 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/netinet/in.h: Enclose #include <linux/in.h> in __BEGIN_DECLS/__END_DECLS to avoid linkage conflict of ntohs etc. in <asm/byteorder.h>.
This directory contains the version 1.96 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: *-*-gnu GNU Hurd i[3456]86-*-linux Linux-2.0 on Intel m68k-*-linux Linux-2.0 on Motorola 680x0 alpha-*-linux 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 Whether this is still true for this release is unknown. 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-1.96-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.
