Mon Jun 24 22:39:12 1996 Richard Henderson * sysdeps/alpha/dl-machine.h (ELF_MACHINE_RUNTIME_TRAMPOLINE): A .plt entry now loads the .rela.plt offset directly rather than making us calculate it. Sun Jun 23 15:24:05 1996 Roland McGrath * time/Makefile ($(installed-localtime-file) rule): Do $(make-target-directory) first. * resolv.h: Fix wrapper for resolv/resolv.h. * configure.in (ld --no-whole-archive check): Use AC_TRY_COMMAND.

These private functions are now used in more than one file. * resolv/inet_pton.c, resolv/gethnamaddr.c: Updated to bind-4.9.4-T5B. Sat Jun 22 16:49:47 1996 Andreas Schwab * rpm/Makefile ($(config)): Make sure the word list in the for loop is syntactically non-empty. --- NEWS | 11 ++++++++++- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 1522d60c64..b82baa683d 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -GNU C Library NEWS -- history of user-visible changes. 22 June 1996 +GNU C Library NEWS -- history of user-visible changes. 24 June 1996 Copyright (C) 1992, 93, 94, 95, 96 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
