-How to Install the GNU C Library
-================================
-
-   Installation of the GNU C library is relatively simple, but usually
-requires several GNU tools to be installed already.
-
-   To configure the GNU C library for your system, run the shell script
-`configure' with `sh'.  Use an argument which is the conventional GNU
-name for your system configuration--for example, `sparc-sun-sunos4.1',
-for a Sun 4 running SunOS 4.1.  *Note Installation:
-(gcc.info)Installation, for a full description of standard GNU
-configuration names.  If you omit the configuration name, `configure'
-will try to guess one for you by inspecting the system it is running
-on.  It may or may not be able to come up with a guess, and the its
-guess might be wrong.  `configure' will tell you the canonical name of
-the chosen configuration before proceeding.
-
-   Here are some options that you should specify (if appropriate) when
-you run `configure':
-
-`--with-binutils=DIRECTORY'
-     Use the binutils (assembler and linker) in `DIRECTORY', not the
-     ones the C compiler would default to.  You could use this option if
-     the default binutils on your system cannot deal with all the
-     constructs in the GNU C library.  (`configure' will detect the
-     problem and suppress these constructs, so the library will still
-     be usable, but functionality may be lost--for example, you can not
-     build a shared libc with old binutils.)
-
-`--without-fp'
-`--nfp'
-     Use this option if your computer lacks hardware floating-point
-     support and your operating system does not emulate an FPU.
-
-`--prefix=DIRECTORY'
-     Install machine-independent data files in subdirectories of
-     `DIRECTORY'.  (You can also set this in `configparms'; see below.)
-     The default is to install in `/usr/local'.
-
-`--exec-prefix=DIRECTORY'
-     Install the library and other machine-dependent files in
-     subdirectories of `DIRECTORY'.  (You can also set this in
-     `configparms'; see below.)  The default is to use <prefix>/bin and
-     <prefix>/sbin.
-
-`--enable-shared'
-`--disable-shared'
-     Enable or disable building of an ELF shared library on systems that
-     support it.  The default is to build the shared library on systems
-     using ELF when the GNU `binutils' are available.
-
-`--enable-profile'
-`--disable-profile'
-     Enable or disable building of the profiled C library, `-lc_p'.  The
-     default is to build the profiled library.  You may wish to disable
-     it if you don't plan to do profiling, because it doubles the build
-     time of compiling just the unprofiled static library.
-
-`--enable-omitfp'
-     Enable building a highly-optimized but possibly undebuggable
-     static C library.  This causes the normal static and shared (if
-     enabled) C libraries to be compiled with maximal optimization,
-     including the `-fomit-frame-pointer' switch that makes debugging
-     impossible on many machines, and without debugging information
-     (which makes the binaries substantially smaller).  An additional
-     static library is compiled with no optimization and full debugging
-     information, and installed as `-lc_g'.
-
-   The simplest way to run `configure' is to do it in the directory
-that contains the library sources.  This prepares to build the library
-in that very directory.
-
-   You can prepare to build the library in some other directory by going
-to that other directory to run `configure'.  In order to run configure,
-you will have to specify a directory for it, like this:
-
-     mkdir sun4
-     cd sun4
-     ../configure sparc-sun-sunos4.1
-
-`configure' looks for the sources in whatever directory you specified
-for finding `configure' itself.  It does not matter where in the file
-system the source and build directories are--as long as you specify the
-source directory when you run `configure', you will get the proper
-results.
-
-   This feature lets you keep sources and binaries in different
-directories, and that makes it easy to build the library for several
-different machines from the same set of sources.  Simply create a build
-directory for each target machine, and run `configure' in that
-directory specifying the target machine's configuration name.
-
-   The library has a number of special-purpose configuration parameters.
-These are defined in the file `Makeconfig'; see the comments in that
-file for the details.
-
-   But don't edit the file `Makeconfig' yourself--instead, create a
-file `configparms' in the directory where you are building the library,
-and define in that file the parameters you want to specify.
-`configparms' should *not* be an edited copy of `Makeconfig'; specify
-only the parameters that you want to override.  To see how to set these
-parameters, find the section of `Makeconfig' that says "These are the
-configuration variables." Then for each parameter that you want to
-change, copy the definition from `Makeconfig' to your new `configparms'
-file, and change the value as appropriate for your system.
-
-   It is easy to configure the GNU C library for cross-compilation by
-setting a few variables in `configparms'.  Set `CC' to the
-cross-compiler for the target you configured the library for; it is
-important to use this same `CC' value when running `configure', like
-this: `CC=TARGET-gcc configure TARGET'.  Set `BUILD_CC' to the compiler
-to use for for programs run on the build system as part of compiling
-the library.  You may need to set `AR' and `RANLIB' to cross-compiling
-versions of `ar' and `ranlib' if the native tools are not configured to
-work with object files for the target you configured for.
-
-   Some of the machine-dependent code for some machines uses extensions
-in the GNU C compiler, so you may need to compile the library with GCC.
-(In fact, all of the existing complete ports require GCC.)
-
-   To build the library and related programs, type `make'.  This will
-produce a lot of output, some of which may look like errors from `make'
-(but isn't).  Look for error messages from `make' containing `***'.
-Those indicate that something is really wrong.
-
-   To build and run some test programs which exercise some of the
-library facilities, type `make check'.  This will produce several files
-with names like `PROGRAM.out'.
-
-   To format the `GNU C Library Reference Manual' for printing, type
-`make dvi'.  You need a working TeX installation to do this.
-
-   To install the library and its header files, and the Info files of
-the manual, type `make install'.  This will build things if necessary,
-before installing them.  If you want to install the files in a different
-place than the one specified at configuration time you can specify a
-value for the Makefile variable `install_root' on the command line.
-This is useful to create chroot'ed environment or to prepare binary
-releases.
-
-Recommended Tools to Install the GNU C Library
-----------------------------------------------
-
-   We recommend installing the following GNU tools before attempting to
-build the GNU C library:
-
-   * `make' 3.76.1
-
-     You need the latest version of GNU `make'.  Modifying the GNU C
-     Library to work with other `make' programs would be so hard that we
-     recommend you port GNU `make' instead.  *Really.*  We recommend
-     version GNU `make' version 3.75, 3.76.1 or later.  Version 3.76 is
-     known to have a bug which only shows up in big projects like GNU
-     `libc'.
-
-   * GCC 2.7.2.3
-
-     On most platforms, the GNU C library can only be compiled with the
-     GNU C compiler.  We recommend GCC version 2.7.2 or later; earlier
-     versions may have problems.
-
-     On PowerPC, GCC versions dated earlier than 970904 are known not
-     to work (they crash), including 2.7.2.
-
-   * `binutils' 2.8.1
-
-     Using the GNU `binutils' (assembler, linker, and related tools) is
-     preferable when possible, and they are required to build an ELF
-     shared C library.  We recommend `binutils' version 2.8.1 or later;
-     earlier versions are known to have problems or to not support all
-     architectures.
-
-   * `texinfo' 3.11
-
-     To correctly translate and install the Texinfo documentation you
-     need this version of the `texinfo' package.  Former versions did
-     not understand all the tags used in the document and also the
-     installation mechanisms for the info files was not present or
-     worked differently.
-
-     On some Debian Linux based systems the used `install-info' program
-     works differently.  Here you have to run make like this:
-
-          make INSTALL_INFO=/path/to/GNU/install-info install
-
-   If you change any configuration file you will need also
-
-   * `autoconf' 2.12
-
-and if you change any of the message translation files you will also
-need
-
-   * `GNU gettext' 0.10 or later
-
-If you upgrade your source tree using the patches made available you
-probably will need those package above in any case.
-
-Supported Configurations
-------------------------
-
-   The GNU C Library currently supports configurations that match the
-following patterns:
-
-     alpha-ANYTHING-linux
-     iX86-ANYTHING-gnu
-     iX86-ANYTHING-linux
-     m68k-ANYTHING-linux
-     powerpc-ANYTHING-linux
-     sparc64-ANYTHING-linux
-
-   Former releases of this library (version 1.09.1 and perhaps earlier
-versions) used to run on the following configurations:
-
-     alpha-dec-osf1
-     alpha-ANYTHING-linuxecoff
-     iX86-ANYTHING-bsd4.3
-     iX86-ANYTHING-isc2.2
-     iX86-ANYTHING-isc3.N
-     iX86-ANYTHING-sco3.2
-     iX86-ANYTHING-sco3.2v4
-     iX86-ANYTHING-sysv
-     iX86-ANYTHING-sysv4
-     iX86-force_cpu386-none
-     iX86-sequent-bsd
-     i960-nindy960-none
-     m68k-hp-bsd4.3
-     m68k-mvme135-none
-     m68k-mvme136-none
-     m68k-sony-newsos3
-     m68k-sony-newsos4
-     m68k-sun-sunos4.N
-     mips-dec-ultrix4.N
-     mips-sgi-irix4.N
-     sparc-sun-solaris2.N
-     sparc-sun-sunos4.N
-
-   Since no one has volunteered to test and fix the above
-configurations, 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 electronic mail to <bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu>.
-
-   Each case of `iX86' can be `i386', `i486', `i586', or `i686'.  All
-of those configurations produce a library that can run on any of these
-processors.  The library will be optimized for the specified processor,
-but will not use instructions not available on all of them.
-
-   While no other configurations are supported, there are handy aliases
-for these few.  (These aliases work in other GNU software as well.)

-Reporting Bugs
-==============
-
-   There are probably bugs in the GNU C library.  There are certainly
-errors and omissions in this manual.  If you report them, they will get
-fixed.  If you don't, no one will ever know about them and they will
-remain unfixed for all eternity, if not longer.
-
-   To report a bug, first you must find it.  Hopefully, this will be the
-hard part.  Once you've found a bug, make sure it's really a bug.  A
-good way to do this is to see if the GNU C library behaves the same way
-some other C library does.  If so, probably you are wrong and the
-libraries are right (but not necessarily).  If not, one of the libraries
-is probably wrong.
-
-   Once you're sure you've found a bug, try to narrow it down to the
-smallest test case that reproduces the problem.  In the case of a C
-library, you really only need to narrow it down to one library function
-call, if possible.  This should not be too difficult.
-
-   The final step when you have a simple test case is to report the bug.
-When reporting a bug, send your test case, the results you got, the
-results you expected, what you think the problem might be (if you've
-thought of anything), your system type, and the version of the GNU C
-library which you are using.  Also include the files `config.status'
-and `config.make' which are created by running `configure'; they will
-be in whatever directory was current when you ran `configure'.
-
-   If you think you have found some way in which the GNU C library does
-not conform to the ISO and POSIX standards (*note Standards and
-Portability::.), that is definitely a bug.  Report it!
-
-   Send bug reports to the Internet address <bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu>
-or the UUCP path <mit-eddie!prep.ai.mit.edu!bug-glibc>.  If you have
-other problems with installation or use, please report those as well.
-
-   If you are not sure how a function should behave, and this manual
-doesn't tell you, that's a bug in the manual.  Report that too!  If the
-function's behavior disagrees with the manual, then either the library
-or the manual has a bug, so report the disagreement.  If you find any
-errors or omissions in this manual, please report them to the Internet
-address <bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu> or the UUCP path
-<mit-eddie!prep.ai.mit.edu!bug-glibc-manual>.

-Contributors to the GNU C Library
-=================================
-
-   The GNU C library was written originally by Roland McGrath.  Some
-parts of the library were contributed or worked on by other people.
-
-   * The `getopt' function and related code were written by Richard
-     Stallman, David J. MacKenzie, and Roland McGrath.
-
-   * The merge sort function `qsort' was written by Michael J. Haertel.
-
-   * The quick sort function used as a fallback by `qsort' was written
-     by Douglas C. Schmidt.
-
-   * The memory allocation functions `malloc', `realloc' and `free' and
-     related code were written by Michael J. Haertel.
-
-   * Fast implementations of many of the string functions (`memcpy',
-     `strlen', etc.) were written by Torbj"orn Granlund.
-
-   * The `tar.h' header file was written by David J. MacKenzie.
-
-   * The port to the MIPS DECStation running Ultrix 4
-     (`mips-dec-ultrix4') was contributed by Brendan Kehoe and Ian
-     Lance Taylor.
-
-   * The DES encryption function `crypt' and related functions were
-     contributed by Michael Glad.
-
-   * The `ftw' and `nftw' function was contributed by Ulrich Drepper.
-
-   * The startup code to support SunOS shared libraries was contributed
-     by Tom Quinn.
-
-   * The `mktime' function was contributed by Paul Eggert.
-
-   * The port to the Sequent Symmetry running Dynix version 3
-     (`i386-sequent-bsd') was contributed by Jason Merrill.
-
-   * The timezone support code is derived from the public-domain
-     timezone package by Arthur David Olson and his many contributors.
-
-   * The port to the DEC Alpha running OSF/1 (`alpha-dec-osf1') was
-     contributed by Brendan Kehoe, using some code written by Roland
-     McGrath.
-
-   * The port to SGI machines running Irix 4 (`mips-sgi-irix4') was
-     contributed by Tom Quinn.
-
-   * The port of the Mach and Hurd code to the MIPS architecture
-     (`mips-ANYTHING-gnu') was contributed by Kazumoto Kojima.
-
-   * The floating-point printing function used by `printf' and friends
-     and the floating-point reading function used by `scanf', `strtod'
-     and friends were written by Ulrich Drepper.  The multi-precision
-     integer functions used in those functions are taken from GNU MP,
-     which was contributed by Torbj"orn Granlund.
-
-   * The internationalization support in the library, and the support
-     programs `locale' and `localedef', were written by Ulrich Drepper.
-     Ulrich Drepper adapted the support code for message catalogs
-     (`libintl.h', etc.) from the GNU `gettext' package, which he also
-     wrote.  He also contributed the `catgets' support and the entire
-     suite of multi-byte and wide-character support functions
-     (`wctype.h', `wchar.h', etc.).
-
-   * The implementations of the `nsswitch.conf' mechanism and the files
-     and DNS backends for it were designed and written by Ulrich
-     Drepper and Roland McGrath, based on a backend interface defined
-     by Peter Eriksson.
-
-   * The port to Linux i386/ELF (`i386-ANYTHING-linux') was contributed
-     by Ulrich Drepper, based in large part on work done in Hongjiu
-     Lu's Linux version of the GNU C Library.
-
-   * The port to Linux/m68k (`m68k-ANYTHING-linux') was contributed by
-     Andreas Schwab.
-
-   * The ports to Linux/ARM (`arm-ANYTHING-linuxaout') and ARM
-     standalone (`arm-ANYTHING-none'), as well as parts of the IPv6
-     support code, were contributed by Philip Blundell.
-
-   * Richard Henderson contributed the ELF dynamic linking code and
-     other support for the Alpha processor.
-
-   * David Mosberger-Tang contributed the port to Linux/Alpha
-     (`alpha-ANYTHING-linux').
-
-   * The port to Linux on PowerPC (`powerpc-ANYTHING-linux') was
-     contributed by Geoffrey Keating.
-
-   * Miles Bader wrote the argp argument-parsing package, and the
-     argz/envz interfaces.
-
-   * Stephen R. van den Berg contributed a highly-optimized `strstr'
-     function.
-
-   * Ulrich Drepper contributed the `hsearch' and `drand48' families of
-     functions; reentrant `...`_r'' versions of the `random' family;
-     System V shared memory and IPC support code; and several
-     highly-optimized string functions for iX86 processors.
-
-   * The math functions are taken from `fdlibm-5.1' by Sun
-     Microsystems, as modified by J.T. Conklin, Ian Lance Taylor,
-     Ulrich Drepper, Andreas Schwab, and Roland McGrath.
-
-   * The `libio' library used to implement `stdio' functions on some
-     platforms was written by Per Bothner and modified by Ulrich
-     Drepper.
-
-   * The Internet-related code (most of the `inet' subdirectory) and
-     several other miscellaneous functions and header files have been
-     included from 4.4 BSD with little or no modification.
