Update.
1999-08-28  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* malloc/malloc.c (ptmalloc_init): Don't use variables to set
	thresholds for SUID binaries.  [PR libc/1277]

1999-08-28  Andreas Jaeger  <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>

	* manual/install.texi (Running make install): Give examples for
	timezone and locale installation.

1999-08-28  Zack Weinberg  <zack@bitmover.com>

	* glibcbug.in: Get CCVERSION from autoconf substitution.
	* configure.in: Calculate and substitute CCVERSION.

1999-08-28  Andreas Jaeger  <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/bits/sigaction.h: Fix sa_flags,
	partially reverting a patch from 1998-12-29.  We just can't change 
	the flags, kernels with different flags lead to
	incompatibilities.

+After installation you might want to configure the timezone and locale
+installation of your system.  The GNU C library comes with a locale
+database which gets configured with @code{localedef}.  For example, to
+set up a German locale with name @code{de_DE}, simply issue the command
+@samp{localedef -i de_DE -f ISO-8859-1 de_DE}.  To configure all locales 
+that are supported by glibc, you can issue from your build directory the 
+command @samp{make localedata/install-locales}.
+
+To configure the locally used timezone, you can either set the @code{TZ}
+environment variable.  The script @code{tzselect} helps you to select
+the right value.  As an example for Germany, tzselect would tell you to
+use @samp{TZ='Europe/Berlin'}.  For a system wide installation (the
+given paths are for an installation with @samp{--prefix=/usr}), link the 
+timezone file which is in @file{/usr/share/zoneinfo} to the file
+@file{/etc/localtime}.  For Germany, you might execute @samp{ln -s
