+Hi, Gals and Guys,
+
+The beta directory has been changed. See below for details.
+
+This is a beta software. Please send your comments to
+linux-gcc@vger.rutgers.edu only.
+
+Since libc 4.7.0, the GNU rx 0.07.1 is used to replace the GNU 
+regex 0.12. All the old binaries compiled/linked with the old
+libc should work fine. But there is a problem with other old libraries
+compiled with the old C library if they use regex in libc. Motif
+is an example. The old Motif libraries are not compatible with the new
+libc. You cannot use the old Motif libraries to compile Motif
+source codes with the new libc.
+
+This release is a branch based on libc 4.6.27. It contains only the
+minimal necessary patches for libc 4.6.27. No new functions. No
+minor bug fixes. This library is designed as an upgrade for libc
+4.6.27. The only purpose of this release is to fix the bugs in
+the shared libraries. It only supports a.out. It should only be used
+together with the new ELF based gcc compiler since the libraries are
+installed under /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib. For the new library
+and ELF, please use libc 5.0.9 or above. Compiling this library
+yourself is strongly discouraged. You should only use it to
+replace the old a.out DLL shared libraries in /lib for the old a.out
+binaries. You should use libc 5.0.9 or above to compile the new
+binaries.
+
+This is the beta release of the Linux C library 4.7.4. You have to
+run the kernel and install the source code of the kernel 1.1.92 or
+above to use it. It may work with the older kernels. You need a
+kernel which supports the QMAGIC format. You also need gcc 2.6.3
+or above to use it.
+
+To use this library, you HAVE to use binutils 2.5.2l.17 or above.
+You can find it on tsx-11 under pub/linux/packages/GCC.
+
+You need ld.so 1.6.7 or above. It should be found on tsx-11 under
+pub/linux/packages/GCC. If it is not there, please try
+ftp.ods.com:/pub/linux.
+
+The primary ftp sites for the compiler/C library are tsx-11.mit.edu
+under pub/linux/packages/GCC/private/tofu and sunsite.unc.edu under
+pub/Linux/GCC/private/tofu. The two secondary ftp sites are
+i44s10.info.uni-karlsruhe.de under pub/linux/libc/private/dontuse and
+ftp.ctd.comsat.com under pub/linux/alpha. Due to the slow link, the
+secondary ftp site may not be updated as quickly as tsx-11. Please
+check it out yourself. The file names are
+
+1. libc-4.7.4.bin.tar.gz.
+2. include-4.7.4.tar.gz.
+3. libc-4.7.4.tar.gz.
+4. libc-4.7.3-4.7.4.diff.gz.
+
+This release is compressed with gzip 1.2.4. You also need gnu tar
+to unpack this package.
+
+Since 4.7.0, the Linux C library is under CVS control thanks to
+Michael R. Johnston who sent me a 1 SCSI GB hard drive. I really
+appreciate his support. Thanks a lot, Mike. I wish I could afford
+a tape drive to backup my hard drives :-).
+
+Now I will generate the diffs for the library source files and
+header files only for upgrade. You have to read the diffs and
+use -p? to apply the patches. Please let me know if there is
+any problem since it is kind of new to me.
+
+Please read ChangeLog for details of the bug fixes and changes.
+
+With bind-4.9.3beta9, you may have to change /etc/resolv.conf. The
+resolver's default "search" list will be just the entire "domain" name
+rather than the sliding window it had before 4.9.2. This will make the
+default search list shorter, so folks who are saying "domain a.b.c"
+and relying on the implicit "search a.b.c b.c c" will miss "b.c" and
+"c". So what you have to do is add this line into your /etc/resolv.conf:
+
+search  a.b.c b.c c
+ 
+The file list:
+
+1. libc-4.7.4.bin.tar.gz
+
+  REQUIRED.  It has the header files, the stub/static libraries and
+  the shared images for libc 4.7.4. To install it, as root do
+
+  cd /
+  rm -rf /usr/i486-linuxaout/include
+  gzip -dc libc-4.7.4.bin.tar.gz | tar xSvvof -
+  ldconfig -v
+
+  The header files in libc-4.7.4.bin.tar.gz are not complete. You have
+  to install libc 5.0.9 or above to get some additional header files
+  and you have to install the kernel source for the rest of the header
+  files.
+
+2. include-4.7.4.tar.gz
+
+  OPTIONAL.  It has the header files for libc 4.7.4. To install it, as
+  root do
+
+  cd /
+  rm -rf /usr/i486-linuxaout/include
+  gzip -dc include-4.7.4.tar.gz | tar xSvvof -
+
+  The header files in libc-4.7.4.bin.tar.gz are not complete. You have
+  to install libc 5.0.9 or above to get some additional header files
+  and you have to install the kernel source for the rest of the header
+  files.
+
+3. libc-4.7.4.tar.gz
+ 
+  Source code for 4.7.4. Unpacked in ./libc.
+ 
+  cd src
+  rm -rf libc-linux
+  gzip -dc libc-4.7.4.tar.gz | tar xSvvof -
+
+4. libc-4.7.3-4.7.4.diff.gz
+
+  Patches for the source code from 4.7.3 to 4.7.4. Use it if
+  you know how :-(. Hint: use "patch -E -p?".
+
+5. ChangeLog
+
+  Change log for the Linux C library.
+
+Please fix the file permissions/ownership after you install it.
