I've moved the ARM port from ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy. Beyond the README update, the move of the files was simply git mv ports/sysdeps/arm sysdeps/arm git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/arm sysdeps/unix/arm git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm and in addition to the ChangeLog entries here, I put a note at the top of ports/ChangeLog.arm similar to that at the top of ChangeLog.powerpc. There is deliberately no NEWS change, as I think it makes the most sense to put in a general note above all ports having moved if we can achieve that for 2.20. Tested that disassembly of installed shared libraries for arm is the same before and after this patch, except for data (not instructions) in ld.so (there are assertions in sysdeps/arm/dl-machine.h, and the path by which that file is found, and so by which it appears in the assertion message, changes as a result of the move). * sysdeps/arm: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/arm. * sysdeps/unix/arm: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/unix/arm. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm. * README: Update listing for arm-*-linux-gnueabi. ports/ChangeLog.arm: * sysdeps/arm: Move directory to ../sysdeps/arm. * sysdeps/unix/arm: Move directory to ../sysdeps.arm. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm: Move directory to ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm.

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 2.6.16 or later.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
arm-*-linux-gnueabi
|
|
i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
|
|
x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
The code for other CPU configurations supported by volunteers outside of
|
|
the core glibc maintenance effort is contained in the `ports' add-on,
|
|
located in the `ports' subdirectory of the source tree.
|
|
|
|
aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
|
|
alpha*-*-linux-gnu
|
|
hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches.
|
|
ia64-*-linux-gnu
|
|
m68k-*-linux-gnu
|
|
mips-*-linux-gnu
|
|
mips64-*-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., 2000-2013, indicating that every year in
