Update.
1997-04-02 16:28 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>
* grp/fgetgrent.c: Don't use fixed buffer length. Allow dynamic
adjustment if the underlying function say it is too small.
* pwd/fgetpwent.c: Likewise.
* shadow/fgetspent.c: Likewise.
* shadow/sgetspent.c: Likewise.
* grp/fgetgrent_r.c (__fgetgrent_r): If `parse_result' returns -1
this means there was not enough room for the gr_mem array.
* nss/nss_files/files-XXX.c: Leave loop and return error if
`parse_result' returns -1.
* nss/nss_files/files-parse.c (parse_line): Return -1 if parsing
of trailing list fails because of low memory.
(parse_list): Rewrite. The logic was completly incorrect since
the checks for overflowing the array were not executed when
needed.
* shadow/sgetspent_r.c: Only a return value > 0 from parse_line
signals success.
* nss/getXXbyYY.c: Make sure NULL is returned if we ran out of memory.
* nss/getXXent.c: Likewise.
* stdlib/strtod.c (SET_MANTISSA): Make sure that at least one bit
is set in mantissa.
* stdlib/strtof.c: Likewise.
* stdlib/strtold.c: Likewise.
* wcsmbs/wcstof.c: Likewise.
* wcsmbs/wcstold.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_nan.c: Use strtod is parameter is not empty
string.
* sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_nanf.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_nanld.c: Likewise.
1997-04-02 13:56 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>
* manual/errno.texi: Add description of strerror_r.
1997-04-01 19:07 H.J. Lu (hjl@gnu.ai.mit.edu)

1997-04-02 13:55 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>
* sysdeps/gnu/errlist.awk: The Texinfo file is named errno.texi.

* sysdeps/m68k/fpu/e_atan2.c: Use __signbit inline.
* sysdeps/m68k/fpu/e_pow.c: Likewise. Write 0.0/0.0 for NaN. Fix
typo in test for `y = 0.5'.
* sysdeps/m68k/fpu/__math.h: Define __trunc, __signbit,
__nearbyint. Remove __modf.
* sysdeps/m68k/Makefile (CFLAGS-s_copysignl.c) [$(subdir)=math]:
Define for gcc bug workaround.
* math/libm-test.c (log2_test): Add epsilon for long double to
"log2 (e)" and "log2 (16)".
(modf_test): Fix test name.
(sqrt_test): Add missing FUNC.
1997-03-29 16:24 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>

the last change.

$build. Fix test for BUILD_CC.
