and the next one

To enable better testing here's an encore:

  glibc-2.2.92.tar.bz2
  glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.92.tar.bz2
  glibc-2.2.91-2.2.92.diff.bz2

All these files can be found at

  ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/glibc/snapshots


In the last 24 hours we've produced about 400k of patches (most of this 
is the update of the translation template file).  This does not mean 
2.2.91 was not already stable once the accidently included definition of 
the compiler flags are removed.  Out testing hasn't turned up any 
specific problem.

Today's patches include some little patches and a few more important 
ones.  Beside that several lose ends are tied.  The new locale model in 
static bnaries should be impplemented, a few functions needed by the new 
libsdc++ interface are completed and build breakage on non-x86 platforms 
should be removed.

There might be some more tools issues and I especially like to hear 
about the tool versions for successful or unsuccessful build.  In 
consider the code itself very stable and ripe for use on your x86 
machine if your tools made the build pass all test suite tests.  The 
remaining time of the beta testing phase has to iron out the build 
issues on non-x86 machines.  For Alpha and IA-64 we are pretty sure all 
works, the rest must be tested elsewhere.

The only problem I know of is the strange build problem where a stamp 
file is reported missing when compiling in the elf subdir.  I'll 
investigate this later.  For now just restart the build.


For those who haven't seen yesterday's announcement.  gcc 3.2 is 
required.  And without very recent binutils releases there will be other 
problems.  It is suggested to use the binutils releases by HJ Lu which 
include addditional change.


So, now to the usual plea: report all successes and failures to 
libc-alpha@sources.redhat.com.
