6 This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of. Please
7 make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
8 of these bugs/limitations I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.
10 Another source of information about bugs is the problem data base of the
11 GNU project. There is an easy to use WWW interface is available at
13 http://www-gnats.gnu.ai.mit.edu:8080/cgi-bin/wwwgnats.pl
15 I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was not
16 reported before by looking though the database. To make the information
17 in this data as useful as possible please report bugs always using the
18 `glibcbug' shell script which gets installed with GNU libc.

23 Severity: [ *] to [***]
26 [ **] For GNU libc on Linux, there is still no solution for the UTMP
28 [Among others: PR libc/39]
30 [ **] There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads.
32 [ **] The `cbrtl' function for ix86 does not work in the moment.
34 [ **] Not really a bug, but it could lead to such:
35 The RPC code is ugly ugly ugly. It's more or less verbatim taken
36 from Sun's code and therefore mostly lacks complete prototypes and
37 (more important) the use of `const'. It *definitely* needs to be
40 [ *] The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
43 [ *] The syslog function should print to the console if the LOG_CONS
47 [ *] On Linux, the <linux/posix_types.h> is not clean enough to satisfy
48 the C++ namespace rules. Declaring `struct fd_set' also makes
49 `fd_set' available in the global namespace which conflicts with
50 the definition of `fd_set' in glibc.
53 [ *] On Linux, there should be a way to prevent defining the symbol
54 NGROUPS_MAX in the <linux/limits.h> header file. In glibc it
55 is defined in <posix1_lim.h> which must not make the other
56 symbols in <linux/limits.h> available.
