Name        : glibc
Product     : Fedora 9
Version     : 2.8
Release     : 8
URL         : http://sources.redhat.com/glibc/
Summary     : The GNU libc libraries
Description :
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
Linux system will not function.

  registers (#450790)
* Mon May 26 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa at redhat.com> 2.8-6
- disable async-unwind-tables for soinit.c and sofini.c
- re-enable fasynchronous-unwind-tables
* Sun May 18 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa at redhat.com> 2.8-5
- fasynchronous-unwind-tables causes failures on sparc arches, dont use it
* Fri May 16 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa at redhat.com> 2.8-4
- sparc64 gets unhappy unless the -mcpu= flag is in the GCC invocation,
  not just in BuildFlags. This is probably a compiler issue (-m64 
  should infer -mcpu=ultrasparc), but to get things building, we'll 
  work around it like this for now.
