Update.
1998-05-14 13:25  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* inet/netinet/in.h: Add defines for multicast.
	Reported by Jeremy Hall <jhall@UU.NET>.

	* stdlib/stdlib.h: Add prototypes for __setenv and __unsetenv.
	* sysdeps/generic/putenv.c: Use __setenv and __unsetenv, not setenv
	and unsetenv.  Optimize _LIBC case.
	* sysdeps/generic/setenv.c: Prevent unnecessary memory leaks.
	Define functions with leading __.

	* time/tzfile.c: Correct handling of global variables daylight,
	timezone, and tzname.
	* time/tzset.c: Likewise.
	* timezone/Makefile (tests): Add tst-timezone.
	* timezone/tst-timezone.c: New file.

	* timezone/asia: Update from tzdata1998d.
	* timezone/australasia: Likewise.
	* timezone/europe: Likewise.

      correct form so it would be possible to enlarge it always according
      to the page size and install the correct length only for fclose() and
      fflush() calls.

+[17] The sprof program to analyze the profiling data generated by ld.so
+     must be finished.  It should have the same functionality as gprof
+     (as far as this is possible).
+
+[18] Based on the sprof program we need tools to analyze the output.  The
+     result should be a link map which specifies in which order the .o
+     files are placed in the shared object.  This should help to improve
+     code locality and result in a smaller foorprint (in code and data
+     memory) since less pages are only used in small parts.
+
+[19] A user-level STREAMS implementation should be available if the
+     kernel does not provide the support.
+
+[20] More conversion modules for iconv(3).  Existing modules should be
+     extended to do things like transliteration if this is wanted.
+     For often used conversion a direct conversion function should be
+     available.
+
+[21] The nscd program and the stubs in the libc should be changed so
+     that each program uses only one socket connect.  Take a look at
