This directory contains sources, which are adopted for glibc-2.0.

They flawlessly compile and works at least on:

intel/libc5
alpha/glibc-1.99 (rh4.2)
sparc/glibc-2.0.7 (rh5.1 and rh5.2)

level1 utilities also tested also for:

intel/glibc-2.1.102

Apparently, all cross-combinations should be also happy 8)8)



All the sources are split to three levels:

level1 - require only minimal bug fixing in glibc headers.
         All the pacthes are supplied inside corresponding tarballs
         and hooked automatically by make process. iproute2 and iputils
	 sit on this level.


level2 - harder cases. These sources are either too costly to mangle
         only for sake of compatibility with a broken library
	 (I have to synchronize with official releases sometimes
         and want to keep changes of stock versions minimal)
	 or I do not want to waste time to fiddle with a minor problem.
	 Some of patches will be moved to level1 eventually, when
	 the problem not allowing them to compile on level1 will be removed.

	 These sources may be compiled after /usr/include/ directory
         is patched by patch level2/glibc-2.0.7-rh5.x-bugs.dif.gz.
	 Be careful, please, do not forget to save original files
	 before patching to restore them, if you will encounter some
	 problems (it is unlikely, though).

	 This way is more convenient both for you and me 8)8).


level3 - the hardest case, which requires patching and recompilation glibc.
	 The only member of this level is TIRPC package, which replaces
	 pretty large part of glibc.

Yes, all the files here have their native directories somewhere
on this server and will be moved on their correct places eventualy.
Now, README files, history of development etc. may be found only
there.
