+This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. |
+See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. |
+ |
+The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, |
+and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the |
+system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such |
+as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming |
+languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. |
+ |
+In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to |
+implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. |
+In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. |
+ |
+The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the |
+GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current |
+GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be |
+incorporated into an official GNU C Library release. |
+ |
+When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library |
+requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later on all architectures except |
+i[4567]86 and x86_64, where Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later |
+suffices. |
+ |
+Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be |
+installed for the pthread library to work correctly. |
+ |
+The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: |
+ |
+ aarch64*-*-linux-gnu |
+ alpha*-*-linux-gnu |
+ arm-*-linux-gnueabi |
+ hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches. |
+ i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu |
+ x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 |
+ ia64-*-linux-gnu |
+ m68k-*-linux-gnu |
+ microblaze*-*-linux-gnu |
+ mips-*-linux-gnu |
+ mips64-*-linux-gnu |
+ powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. |
+ powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. |
+ s390-*-linux-gnu |
+ s390x-*-linux-gnu |
+ sh[34]-*-linux-gnu |
+ sparc*-*-linux-gnu |
+ sparc64*-*-linux-gnu |
+ tilegx-*-linux-gnu |
+ tilepro-*-linux-gnu |

+If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc |
+maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more |
+information. |
+ |
+See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install |
+the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for |
+the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. |
+ |
+The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual |
+found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated |
+and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not |
+have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For |
+corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, |
+following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check |
+the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has |
+already been corrected. |
+ |
+Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting |
+information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. |
+This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. |
+ |
+The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying |
+conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require |
+these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be |
+listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in |
+the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed |
+individually. |
