49Since no one has volunteered to test and fix the above configurations,
50these are not supported at the moment. It's expected that these don't
51work anymore. Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested
52in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers by sending
b9b49b44 53electronic mail to <bug-glibc@gnu.org>.

55There are some add-ons which can be used together with GNU libc. They
56are designed in a way to ease the installation by integrating them in
57the libc source tree. Simply get the add-ons you need and use the
58--enable-add-ons option of the `configure' script to tell where the
59add-ons are found. Please read the FAQ file for more details.

65The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found
66in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and
ea278354
UD
67contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
68have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.
69Please send comments on the manual to <bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org>, and
28f540f4

70not to the library bug-reporting address.

72The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used
73in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what
74facilities you want it to make available.
75
5b826692 76We prefer to get bug reports sent using the `glibcbug' shell script which
f4017d20 77is installed together with the rest of the GNU libc to <bugs@gnu.org>.
5b826692 78Simply run this shell script and fill in the information. Nevertheless
74015205 79you can still send bug reports to <bug-glibc@gnu.org> as normal electronic
b9b49b44 80mails.
