-This directory contains the version VERSION release of the GNU C Library.
-
-The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
-and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
-system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
-as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
-languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.
-
-In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
-implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
-In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
-
-The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
-GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[34567]86-*-gnu.
-
-When working with Linux kernels, the GNU C Library version 2.4 is
-intended primarily for use with Linux kernel version 2.6.0 and later.
-We only support using the NPTL implementation of pthreads, which is now
-the default configuration.  Most of the C library will continue to work
-on older Linux kernels and many programs will not require a 2.6 kernel
-to run correctly.  However, pthreads and related functionality will not
-work at all on old kernels and we do not recommend using glibc 2.4 with
-any Linux kernel prior to 2.6.
-
-All Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.16 are known to have some bugs that
-may cause some of the tests related to pthreads in "make check" to fail.
-If you see such problems, please try the test suite on the most recent
-Linux kernel version that you can use, before pursuing those bugs further.
-
-The old LinuxThreads add-on implementation of pthreads for older Linux
-kernels is no longer supported, and we are not distributing it with this
-release.  Someone has volunteered to revive its maintenance unofficially
-for at least a short time for the benefit of those using Linux kernels
-older than 2.6, but a working version is not presently available.  When
-it is in working condition, we will make it available alongside future
-glibc releases.  LinuxThreads will not be supported.
-
-The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:
-
-	i[34567]86-*-linux-gnu
-	x86_64-*-linux-gnu
-	powerpc-*-linux-gnu
-	powerpc64-*-linux-gnu
-	s390-*-linux-gnu
-	s390x-*-linux-gnu
-	ia64-*-linux-gnu
-	sparc*-*-linux-gnu
-	sparc64*-*-linux-gnu
-
-	alpha*-*-linux-gnu	Requires Linux 2.6.9 for NPTL
-	sh[34]-*-linux-gnu	Requires Linux 2.6.11
-
-The code for other CPU configurations supported by volunteers outside of
-the core glibc maintenance effort is contained in the separate `ports'
-add-on.  You can find glibc-ports-VERSION distributed separately in the
-same place where you got the main glibc distribution files.
-Currently these configurations are known to work using the `ports' add-on:
-
-	arm-*-linux-gnu		Requires Linux 2.6.15 for NPTL, no SMP support
-	arm-*-linux-gnueabi	Requires Linux 2.6.16-rc1 for NPTL, no SMP
-	mips-*-linux-gnu	Requires Linux 2.6.12 for NPTL
-	mips64-*-linux-gnu	Requires Linux 2.6.12 for NPTL
-
-The ports distribution also contains code for other configurations that
-do not work or have not been maintained recently, but will be of use to
-anyone trying to make a new configuration work.  If you are interested
-in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see
-http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information.
-
-See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
-the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
-the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.
-
-The GNU C Library is (almost) 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.  For
-corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
-following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
-the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
-already been corrected.
-
-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.
-
-Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
-information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
-This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.
-
-The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
-conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
-these additional notices to be distributed.
