+2.27.	What needs to be recompiled when upgrading from glibc 2.0 to glibc
+	2.1?
+
+{AJ,CG} If you just upgrade the glibc from 2.0.x (x <= 7) to 2.1, binaries
+that have been linked against glibc 2.0 will continue to work.
+
+If you compile your own binaries against glibc 2.1, you also need to
+recompile some other libraries.  The problem is that libio had to be
+changed and therefore libraries that are based or depend on the libio
+of glibc, e.g. ncurses or slang, need to be recompiled.  If you
+experience strange segmentation faults in your programs linked against
+glibc 2.1, you might need to recompile your libraries.
+
+Another problem is that older binaries that were linked statically against
+glibc 2.0 will reference the older nss modules (libnss_files.so.1 instead of
+libnss_files.so.2), so don't remove them.  Also, the old glibc-2.0 compiled
+static libraries (libfoo.a) which happen to depend on the older libio
+behavior will be broken by the glibc 2.1 upgrade.  We plan to produce a
+compatibility library that people will be able to link in if they want
+to compile a static library generated against glibc 2.0 into a program
+on a glibc 2.1 system.  You just add -lcompat and you should be fine.
+
+The glibc-compat add-on will provide the libcompat.a library, the older
+nss modules, and a few other files.  Together, they should make it
+possible to do development with old static libraries on a glibc 2.1
+system.  This add-on is still in development.  You can get it from <URL>
+but please keep in mind that it is experimental.
