Hi,

glibc 2.1.3 is just about to go *final*

BUT...If we want glibc 2.1.3 to compile out of the box under PPC under 2.3.XX
kernels and actually work we really need people running 2.3.XX kernels to gra

    + b

the source from glibc cvs and apply the following patch and test this thing
asap and report some results.

please note, glibc 2.1.3 is now very *stable* under 2.2.X kernels with lots o

    + f

bug fixes and things.

The key issue here is finding out whether glibc 2.1.3 will compile and run
under 2.3.XX kernels.

If you are willing to help, please let me know and give this a try.

They will *not* hold up the release just for us, so your help and feedback wo

    + uld

be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi,

Will do.

Please send us the cvs command.

Thanks!

First, login to cvs server
enter "anoncvs" as the password:

   cvs -z4 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/glibc login


Then to check out the 2.1 branch of the source tree:

   cvs -z4 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/glibc co \
   -r glibc-2-1-branch libc


Or, if it is easier, I have put a tar gzip archive of yesterday's CVS tree on
my ftp server:
