Ulrich Drepper ebbad4cc83 Update.
1997-05-26 22:51  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* configure.in: Use AC_PROG_CC_LOCAL instead of AC_PROC_CC.
	* aclocal.m4: Add AC_PROG_CC_LOCAL which does not fail for
	environments in which linking is not possible at configure time
	(since te libc is just build).
	Based on patches by Marcus G. Daniels <marcus@cathcart.sysc.pdx.edu>.

	* time/scheck.c (scheck): Make 2nd parameter const.
	* time/private.h: Likewise.

1997-05-26 18:58  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* stdlib/random_r.c (__initstate_r): Initialize randomizer type in
	state array only at right place.
	Reported by Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@breughel.ufsia.ac.be>.

	* stdlib/erand48_r.c (__erand48_r): Don't generate numbers in
	[0.5,1.0) but really in [0.0, 1.0).
	Patch by Oliver Gathmann <gathmann@scar.utoronto.ca>.

1997-05-22 12:50  Eric Delaunay  <delaunay@lix.polytechnique.fr>

	* shlib-versions: Provide Linux/SPARC defaults.

This directory contains the version VERSION 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:
i[3456]86-*-gnu GNU Hurd
i[3456]86-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.0 on Intel
m68k-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.0 on Motorola 680x0
alpha-*-linux-gnu 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
Since no one has volunteered to test and fix the above configurations,
these are not supported at the moment. It's expected that these don't
work anymore. Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested
in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers by sending
electronic mail to <bug-glibc@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-crypt-VERSION.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.ifi.uio.no
[129.240.64.21], 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.ifi.uio.no; 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.
Beside the separate crypt tar file there are some more add-ons which can be
used together with GNU libc. They are designed in a way to ease the
installation by integrating them in the libc source tree. Simply get the
add-ons you need and use the --enable-add-ons option of the `configure'
script to tell where the add-ons are found. Please read the FAQ file for
more details.
See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
the GNU C library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the
GNU libc at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html.
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.
We prefer to get bug reports sent using the `glibcbug' shell script which
is install together with the rest of the GNU libc to <bugs@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.
Simply run this shell script and fill in the information. Nevertheless
you can still send bug reports to <bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu> as normal
electronic mails.
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions.
