+* GNU extensions are no longer declared by default. To enable them you

* The library has changed from using GNU ld symbol aliases to using weak
symbols where available. The ELF object file format supports weak
symbols; GNU ld also supports weak symbols in the a.out format. (There
* The C library now provides the run-time support code for profiling
executables compiled with `-pg'. Programs can control the profiling code
- through the interface in <sys/gmon.h>. The profiling code was adapted
- from 4.4 BSD-Lite.
+ through the interface in <sys/gmon.h>. The `gmon.out' files written by
+ the GNU C library can be read only by GNU `gprof' (from GNU binutils);

* The math code has been replaced with a math library based on fdlibm from
Sun, and modified by JT Conklin with i387 support and by Ian Taylor with
The GNU library now supports Linux versions 1.3.29 and later,
using the ELF object file format (i[345]86-*-linux).
+* Andreas Schwab has ported the C library to Linux/m68k (m68k-*-linux).
+
+* David Mosberger-Tang has ported the C library to Linux/Alpha (alpha-*-linux).

* Ulrich Drepper has contributed a new set of message catalog functions to
support multiple languages, for use with his new package GNU gettext.
