Have you read any of the documentation? If you do you can answer your own
question...

I am trying to teach you how to go fishing, not just hit you in the face
with a dead fish ;-)

I would have to read and internalize the same documentation to answer your
question and I don't know as much about your situation as you do. So it is
best to cut out the middle man.

Then if you have more questions try IRC irc.freenode.net #glibc
