-----------------------------
Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha
and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the
new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the
new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c
The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the
new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG
signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not
be a problem because current applications don't use any
signals higher than NSIG.
There are version bumps for the following libraries:
libdialog
libreadline
libc
libc_r
libedit
libftpio
libss
These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures
visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and
may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries
that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate
issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the
new range to its fullest.
NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been
given one now.
NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for
the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after
doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one
to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer.
According to good taste this means that I will receive a
badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled,
drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)
NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The
change cause sys/types to be included along the way which
contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider
this a solution, but more a workaround.
except an absence of the directory is not considered an error
and doesn't produce a warning).
Put /usr/local/lib/perl5/*/man under OPTIONAL_MANPATH.
- An order of directives in manpath.config is now irrelevant.
- Get rid of infinite loop when PATH is unset or NULL, and
MANDATORY_MANPATH directory doesn't exist.
- mdoc(9)ify manpage.

Configuration header inclusion has been moved around to reduce diffs from
the offical GCC distribution. We now generate the same ``tm.h'' produced by
gcc's `configure' script [minus all the "#ifdef IN_GCC"'s].
Jeff Law of EGCS/Cygus says the new "approved" way of doing configure-related
includes is to list them all in ``tm.h'' rather than having the architure
config headers include large numbers of other configure headers.
- Sort xrefs
- Be consistent with section names as outlined in mdoc(7).
- Other misc mdoc cleanup.

space as the terminator for 7-digit octal numbers). This is POSIX.1
conformant (2-byte terminators are just a bug or historical wart in
old versions of gnu tar). All devices created by `MAKEDEV all' except
rsa0.ctl can now be handled by tar(1).

was installed. Indirection through objformat is correct although
underscore handling is the only thing that differs for aout and
elf -- going through objformat is the easiest way to set c++filt's
underscore handling flag correctly.
