Update.
1997-04-02 16:28 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * grp/fgetgrent.c: Don't use fixed buffer length. Allow dynamic adjustment if the underlying function say it is too small. * pwd/fgetpwent.c: Likewise. * shadow/fgetspent.c: Likewise. * shadow/sgetspent.c: Likewise. * grp/fgetgrent_r.c (__fgetgrent_r): If `parse_result' returns -1 this means there was not enough room for the gr_mem array. * nss/nss_files/files-XXX.c: Leave loop and return error if `parse_result' returns -1. * nss/nss_files/files-parse.c (parse_line): Return -1 if parsing of trailing list fails because of low memory. (parse_list): Rewrite. The logic was completly incorrect since the checks for overflowing the array were not executed when needed. * shadow/sgetspent_r.c: Only a return value > 0 from parse_line signals success. * nss/getXXbyYY.c: Make sure NULL is returned if we ran out of memory. * nss/getXXent.c: Likewise. * stdlib/strtod.c (SET_MANTISSA): Make sure that at least one bit is set in mantissa. * stdlib/strtof.c: Likewise. * stdlib/strtold.c: Likewise. * wcsmbs/wcstof.c: Likewise. * wcsmbs/wcstold.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_nan.c: Use strtod is parameter is not empty string. * sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_nanf.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_nanld.c: Likewise. 1997-04-02 13:56 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * manual/errno.texi: Add description of strerror_r. 1997-04-01 19:07 H.J.

+
+[A22] {UD} The problem is that the IPv6 development still has not reached
+a point where it is stable. There are still lots of incompatible changes
+made and the libc headers have to follow.
+
+Currently (as of 970401) according to Philip Blundell <pjb27@cam.ac.uk>
+the required kernel version is 2.1.30.

+[Q23] ``When compiling GNU libc I get lots of errors saying functions
+ in glibc are duplicated in libgcc.''
+
+[A23] {EY} This is *exactly* the same problem that I was having. The
+problem was due to the fact that the autoconfigure didn't correctly
+detect that linker flag --no-whole-archive was supported in my linker.
+In my case it was because I had run ./configure with bogus CFLAGS, and
+the test failed.
+
+One thing that is particularly annoying about this problem is that
+once this is misdetected, running configure again won't fix it unless
+you first delete config.cache.
+
+{UD} Starting with glibc-2.0.3 there should be a better test to avoid
+some problems of this kind. The setting of CFLAGS is checked at the
+very beginning and if it is not usable `configure' will bark.
