Tue Jan 21 04:05:20 1997  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* version.h (VERSION): Bump to 1.101.

	Implement -d and -r option to `ldd' to check relocations.
	* elf/dl-error.c: Add another method to intercept errors.
	(_dl_receive_error): New function.  Install user defined handler.
	(receiver): New variable.  Contains pointer to user provided handler.
	(_dl_signal_error): If user provided handler is installed call this.
	* elf/dl-load.c (_dl_map_object): When shared object is not found in
	trace mode initialize a few more fields so that lookup can actually
	happen but always fails.
	* elf/ldd.sh.in: Rewrite argument handling.  Recognize new arguments
	to trigger reloation test.  Return with appropriate error code if
	a file wasn't found.  Print warning if object is not executable.
	* elf/ldd.bash.in: Likewise.
	* elf/link.h (receiver_fct): New type.  Used in _dl_receive_error.
	(_dl_sysdep_error): New prototype.

	(_dl_signal_error): Remove  __attribute__ ((__noreturn__)).
	* elf/rtld.c (dl_main): Rewrite argument handling.  More than
	one argument allowed.  Recognize --data-relocs and --function-relocs
	arguments.
	Don't determine `lazy' mode from LD_BIND_NOW environment variable
	when in trace mode.
	If in trace mode and either --data-relocs or --function-relocs is
	given perform relocation.  Report errors using print_unresolved
	function.
	(print_unresolved): New function.  Print information about missing
	symbol on stderr.
	* sysdeps/generic/dl-sysdep.c (_dl_sysdep_error): New function.
	Like _dl_sysdep_message but print to stderr.

	including <linux/ppp_defs.h>.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/msq_buf.h (struct msqid_ds): Don't
	use __pid_t since the kernel might have a different size.

	* Makeconfig (CFLAGS-.so): Add -fno-common to prevent odd sorts of
	errors that can occur when linking libc.so.

Mon Jan 20 05:20:49 1997  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* elf/dl-load.c (open_path): When running setuid don't try
	a directory if it is not given with the full name.

	* elf/Makefile (before-compile): New variable.  Mention trusted-dirs.h.
	(trusted-dirs.h): Construct file from $(default-rpath) and
	$(user-defined-trusted-dirs) variables.
	* elf/dl-load.c (_dl_map_object): Pass additional argument to open_path
	which is NULL except for the LD_LIBRARY_PATH pass in which case it
	is a pointer to the list of directories from the trusted-dirs.h
	file.
	(open_path): Accept additional argument with list of trusted dirs.
	When running setuid and a list of trusted dirs is given only use
	those which are mentioned in the list.

	* elf/rtld.c (dl_main): Don't reject whole LD_LIBRARY_PATH when
	running setuid.  Instead accept entries which do not contain a '/'.

	* elf/ldd.bash.in: Likewise.

	* elf/rtld.c (dl_main): Do not always ignore LD_PRELOAD when the
	binary runs setuid.  It is save to use those entries which do not
	contain a '/'.  This is compatible with Solaris-2.

This directory contains the version 1.101 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-1.101-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.
