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
Another source of information about bugs is the problem data base of the
GNU project. There is an easy to use WWW interface available at

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
[ **] When popen() was called with an illegal command the function still
returns with a value not equal to NULL.
+[ *] setlocale() leaks memory. This becomes only a problem if a program
+ calls this function very often which normally is not the case. The
+ problem is fixed for glibc 2.1.

1.2. What compiler do I need to build GNU libc?
slow down the build process and need more disk space.

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

The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.
