Mon Aug 12 03:31:58 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * nss/nsswitch.c (__nss_configure_lookup): New function. Allows to specify services. * nss/XXX-lookup.h: Rename database variable and make global. * nss/databases.def: New file. Real names of all databases. * nss/nss.h: New file. Contains declaration useful for users and service developers. * nss/nsswitch.h: Move some declarations to nss/nss.h. * nss.h: New file. Wrapper around nss/nss.h. * nss/Makefile (headers): Add nss.h. (distributes): Add databases.h. Sun Aug 11 16:19:42 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> Help the poor people with fast machines by making sure only one `ar' commands works on the library. * autolock.sh: New file. Written by Tom Tromey. * Makerules (do-ar): Call autolock.sh shell script instead of directly using `ar'. * config.make.in: Make configuration variable AUTOLOCK which gets initialized by configure. * configure.in: Define variable AUTOLOCK to point to autolock.sh script and mark it to substitute. * string/Makefile: Add -fno-builtin for tst-strlen.c, too. * elf/dl-lookup.c (_dl_lookup_symbol): Allow self-referencing. Patch by David Mosberger-Tang. Sun Aug 11 01:12:38 1996 Richard Henderson <rth@tamu.edu> * sysdeps/alpha/dl-machine.h (elf_alpha_fix_plt): Optimize LD_BIND_NOW startup by moving Icache flush from here ... (ELF_MACHINE_RUNTIME_TRAMPOLINE): ... to here. (ELF_MACHINE_USER_ADDRESS_MASK): Delete; it is unused. * sysdeps/alpha/divrem.h: Update comment to reflect the actual calling conventions. The code is already correct. Sun Aug 11 01:06:42 1996 Richard Henderson <rth@tamu.edu> * string/Makefile: Compile tester with -fno-builtin as we want to test our implementations, not gcc's.

The functions should be embedded in the nss scheme. This is not
hard and not all services must be supported at once.
