Update.
1999-08-28 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>
* malloc/malloc.c (ptmalloc_init): Don't use variables to set
thresholds for SUID binaries. [PR libc/1277]
1999-08-28 Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>
* manual/install.texi (Running make install): Give examples for
timezone and locale installation.
1999-08-28 Zack Weinberg <zack@bitmover.com>
* glibcbug.in: Get CCVERSION from autoconf substitution.
* configure.in: Calculate and substitute CCVERSION.
1999-08-28 Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/bits/sigaction.h: Fix sa_flags,
partially reverting a patch from 1998-12-29. We just can't change
the flags, kernels with different flags lead to
incompatibilities.
