+ * grp/initgroups.c (initgroups) [NGROUPS_MAX != 0]: Always use sysconf
+ instead of the constant NGROUPS_MAX. That way, the limit can be
+ raised in the kernel configuration without having to recompile libc.
+
+ * sysdeps/posix/euidaccess.c: Don't #include <limits.h> or try to
+ define NGROUPS_MAX; we don't use it here.

* math/libm-test.inc (atan2_test): Add more testcases.
