	* manual/ctype.texi: Minor fix.
	* manual/install.texi: Likewise.
	* manual/startup.texi: Likewise.
	* manual/examples/dir.c: Use perror() rather than puts().

2001-05-25  David Mosberger  <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/bits/sigcontext.h: Put stuff following
	#endif directive inside a comment to avoid compiler warnings.

2001-05-25  Philipp Thomas  <pthomas@suse.de>

	* nis/nis_print.c (nis_nstype2str): Don't mark names of
	naming services for translation, only UNKNOWN needs it.
	Add comment to prevent it for the future.

2001-05-25  Joseph S. Myers  <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>

	* misc/sys/cdefs.h (__restrict_arr): Define appropriately for GCC
	3.1 and non-GCC C99 compilers.
