This is the public release of the Linux C library 4.4.4. You have to
install the source code of 0.99 pl 10 or above to use it. You also
need gcc 2.4.5 to use it since libgcc.a is changed.

Please don't use gcc 2.5.0 to compile this release since the iostream
in this release is not compatible with gcc 2.5.0. You can use the C
compiler in gcc 2.5.0. The C++ compiler is ok with libc 4.4.4 as long
as you don't use the libg++ 2.4 or any earlier versions, including the
iostream.

You can get this package under pub/linux/packages/GCC
from tsx-11.mit.edu. The file names inc-4.4.4.tar.gz,
inc-4.4.1-4.4.4.tar.gz, libc-4.4.4.tar.gz, libc-4.4.1-4.4.4.tar.gz,
image-4.4.4.tar.gz and extra-4.4.4.tar.gz.

I only make i486 binary versions this time.

WARNING: PLEASE READ THEM.
 1)	You have to install ld.so 1.3 first before libc 4.4.4.
 2)	There is a new /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.4.5/specs in
	image-4.4.4.tar.gz for the 387 control word option. You can do

		gcc -mieee-fp foo.o
	to force gcc links libieee.a. Please consult
	./sysdeps/linux/i386/ieee.c and <fpu_control.h> for details.
 3)	You should use BYTE_ORDER to check endian.
 4)	You should use the patched libg++ 2.4 if you use libg++.

This release is compressed with gzip 1.1.2.

Please read ChangeLog for details of the bug fixes and changes.

The file list:

1. inc-4.4.4.tar.gz
 
  The C header files for 4.4.4.
 
  cd /
  gzip -dc inc-4.4.4.tar.gz | tar xvvof -
 
  The header files in inc-4.4.4.tar.gz are not complete. You have to
  install the kernel source for the rest of the header files. Please
  get the version mentioned at the beginning of this release note.
  Suppose you install the kernel source at "/foo/bar/src",
  you should do as root
 
  mkdir -p /usr/include
  cd /usr/include
  ln -s /foo/bar/src/linux/include/asm .
  ln -s /foo/bar/src/linux/include/linux .

2. libc-4.4.4.tar.gz

  Source code for 4.4.4.

  cd src
  gzip -dc libc-4.4.4.tar.gz | tar xvvof -

3. inc-4.4.1-4.4.4.tar.gz
 
  Change of the header files from 4.4.1 to 4.4.4.
 
  cd /
  gzip -dc inc-4.4.1-4.4.4.tar.gz | tar xvvof -

4. libc-4.4.1-4.4.4.tar.gz

  Change of the source code from 4.4.1 to 4.4.4. 

  cd src
  gzip -dc libc-4.4.1-4.4.4.tar.gz | tar xvvof -

  Please do

  cd src/libc-linux/sysdeps/linux
  rm fstatfs.S statfs.S uname.S

  since there are new fstatfs.c, statfs.c and uname.c.

5. image-4.4.4.tar.gz

  The static/stub libraries, shared image and crt0.o. To install
  it, as root do

  cd /tmp
  rm -rf ./lib ./usr
  gzip -dc image-4.4.4.tar.gz | tar xvvof -
  cp -av ./lib ./usr /
  cd /lib
  ln -sf libc.so.4.4.4 libc.so.4
  ln -sf libm.so.4.4.4 libm.so.4

6. extra-4.4.4.tar.gz
 
  libmcheck.a, libg.a, libc_p.a, libgmon.a and gcrt0.o. To install
 
  cd /
  gzip -dc extra-4.4.4.tar.gz | tar xvvof -
