Update.
2001-05-25 Bruce Mitchener <bruce@cubik.org>
* manual/ctype.texi: Minor fix.
* manual/install.texi: Likewise.
* manual/startup.texi: Likewise.
* manual/examples/dir.c: Use perror() rather than puts().
2001-05-25 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/bits/sigcontext.h: Put stuff following
#endif directive inside a comment to avoid compiler warnings.
2001-05-25 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
* nis/nis_print.c (nis_nstype2str): Don't mark names of
naming services for translation, only UNKNOWN needs it.
Add comment to prevent it for the future.
2001-05-25 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>
* misc/sys/cdefs.h (__restrict_arr): Define appropriately for GCC
3.1 and non-GCC C99 compilers.
