New configure option --disable-build-nscd avoids building nscd itself;
this is the default if --disable-nscd is used.
* Improved support for cross-compilation, including cross-testing and
bootstrap builds without a previously built glibc.
* New configure options --with-bugurl and --with-pkgversion, for
distributors to use to embed their bug-reporting and package version
information in --help and --version output.
* The ttyname and ttyname_r functions on Linux now fall back to searching for
the tty file descriptor in /dev/pts or /dev if /proc is not available. This
allows creation of chroots without the procfs mounted on /proc.
