make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
[ *] The rcmd() functions (more concrete: the handling of .rhosts) does
not support netgroups and wildcards (+).

[Q1] ``What systems does the GNU C Library run on?''
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
- powerpc-*-linux-gnu Linux and MkLinux on PowerPC systems
- sparc-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.0 on SPARC
- sparc64-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.0 on UltraSPARC
Other Linux platforms are also on the way to be supported but I need
some success reports first.
Versions before 3.74 have bugs which prevent correct execution so you
should upgrade to the latest version before starting the compilation.
+We recommend version GNU make version 3.75. Versions 3.76 and
+3.76.1 are known to have bugs which only show up in big projects like
+GNU libc.

-[Q28] ``After upgrading to a glibc 2.1 with symbol versioning I get
- errors about undefined symbols. What went wrong?''
-
-[A28] {AJ} In a versioned libc a lot of symbols are now local that
-have been global symbols in previous versions. When defining a extern
-variable both in a user program and extern in the libc the links
-resolves this to only one reference - the one in the library. The
-problem is caused by either wrong program code or tools. In no case
-the global variables from libc should be used by any program. Since
-these reference are now local, you might see a message like:
-
-"msgfmt: error in loading shared libraries: : undefined symbol: _nl_domain_bindings"
-
-The only way to fix this is to recompile your program. Sorry, that's
-the price you might have to pay once for quite a number of advantages
-with symbol versioning.

-[A29] {UD} The kernel headers before Linux 2.1.61 don't work correctly with
-glibc since they pollute the name space in a not acceptable way. Compiling
-C programs is possible in most cases but especially C++ programs have (due
-to the change of the name lookups for `struct's) problem. One prominent
-example is `struct fd_set'.

-There might be some more problems left but 2.1.61 fixes some of the known
-ones. See the BUGS file for other known problems.

-[Q30] ``When I start the program XXX after upgrading the library
- I get
- XXX: Symbol `_sys_errlist' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
- Why? What to do?''
-
-[A30] {UD} As the message says, relink the binary. The problem is that
-very few symbols from the library can change in size and there is no way
-to avoid this. _sys_errlist is a good example. Occasionally there are
-new error numbers added to the kernel and this must be reflected at user
-level.
-
-But this does not mean all programs are doomed once such a change is
-necessary. Such symbols should normally not be used at all. There are
-mechanisms to avoid using them. In the case of _sys_errlist, there is the
-strerror() function which should _always_ be used instead. So the correct
-fix is to rewrite that part of the application.
-
-In some situations (especially when testing a new library release) it might
-be possible that such a symbol size change slipped in though it must not
-happen. So in case of doubt report such a warning message as a problem.
+There might be some more problems left but 2.1.61/2.0.32 fixes some of
+the known ones. See the BUGS file for other known problems.
