This is, unfortunately, a bugfix + release intended to fix the couple of dumb things that slipped into the + previous release. Version 0.9.13 of uClibc would fail to compile when + enabling both RPC and Pthreads. There was also a problem with RPC thread + local storage (but noone noticed since it didn't compile ;-). Also, the + thread locking in exit(), onexit() and atexit() was broken, and wasn't + actually locking anything. This release also fixes uClibc's gcc wrapper + to use crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o when compiling PIC code, fixing a subtle + bug (that was much less subtle on powerpc). Finally, this release includes a + few minor compile warning cleanups. <p> The <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/Changelog">Changelog</a> - and <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/uClibc-0.9.13.tar.bz2">source code</a> + and <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/uClibc-0.9.14.tar.bz2">source code</a> for this release are available <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/">here</a>. <p> Have fun! <p> + - <li> <b>9 August 2002, uClibc now mirrored on kernel.org!</b> + <li> <b>12 August 2002, Native uClibc/gcc-3.1.1 toolchain released</b> <br> - uClibc is now available from the kernel.org mirrors!
