This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of. Please
make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/
-I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was not
-reported before by looking through the database. To make the information
-in this database as useful as possible please report bugs always using the
-`glibcbug' shell script which gets installed with GNU libc. Before reporting
-a bug please check the FAQ since it discusses also a lot of problematic
-situations.

failure should be looked into. Depending on the failures, you probably
should not install the library at all.
-You should consider using the `glibcbug' script to report the failure,
-providing as much detail as possible. If you run a test directly, please
-remember to set up the environment correctly. You want to test the compiled
-library - and not your installed one. The best way is to copy the exact
-command line which failed and run the test from the subdirectory for this
-test in the sources.

There are some failures which are not directly related to the GNU libc:
- Some compilers produce buggy code. No compiler gets single precision
