Wed Jul 17 02:43:28 1996 Roland McGrath <roland@delasyd.gnu.ai.mit.edu> * shlib-versions (*-*-gnu*): Set libc=0.0 Tue Jul 16 01:52:42 1996 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> * sysdeps/m68k/dl-machine.h: Follow Jul 14 change in sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h. Tue Jul 16 00:14:07 1996 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> * sysdeps/unix/inet/syscalls.list (connect, send): Add underscores to the strong name, not the file name. * csu/initfini.c: More magic. Detect if .end is produced and put it in the output iff the compiler does.
