Update.

1998-11-26  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* sysdeps/mips/dl-machine.h (ELF_MACHINE_NO_PLT): New defined macro.
	(elf_machine_got_rel): Remove scope variable.  Use scope from the map.
	Don't modify _dl_global_scope_end in the end.
	(__dl_runtime_resolv): Also use scope from the map.
	* sysdeps/mips/mips64/dl-machine.h: Likewise.
	* elf/dl-runtime.c: Don't define fixup and profile_fixup if
	ELF_MACHINE_NO_PLT is defined.
	* sysdeps/mips/sys/ucontext.h: New file.
	Patches by kaz Kojima <kkojima@rr.iij4u.or.jp>.

	* sysdeps/generic/pselect.c (__pselect): Change interface, 
	set/restore sigmask. 
 
	* misc/sys/select.h: Change declaration according to Stevens' Unix  
	Network Programming. 
	* include/sys/select.h (__pselect): Likewise. 
	Reported by <bwelling@anomaly.munge.com> [PR libc/872]. 
 
	* include/fpu_control.h: New file, contains __setfpucw 
	declaration. 
 
	* sysdeps/generic/fpu_control.h: Remove __setfpucw declaration, 
	it's an internal symbol. 
	* sysdeps/alpha/fpu/fpu_control.h: Likewise. 
	* sysdeps/arm/fpu/fpu_control.h: Likewise. 
	* sysdeps/i386/fpu_control.h: Likewise.

 You should always try to use the latest official release.  Older versions

-Also, make sure you have a suitably recent kernel.  As of the 970401

+{PB} The 2.1 release of GNU libc aims to comply with the current versions of
+all the relevant standards.  The IPv6 support libraries for older Linux
+systems used a different naming convention and so code written to work with
+them may need to be modified.  If the standards make incompatible changes in
+the future then the libc may need to change again.
+
+IPv6 will not work with a 2.0.x kernel.  When kernel 2.2 is released it
+should contain all the necessary support; until then you should use the
+latest 2.1.x release you can find.  As of 98/11/26 the currently recommended 
+kernel for IPv6 is 2.1.129.

+Also, as of the 2.1 release the IPv6 API provided by GNU libc is not
+100% complete.  In particular the getipnodebyname and getipnodebyaddr
+functions are not implemented.
