Changelog: complete old data and cycle

We switched to detailed per-release Changelog some time ago, available
on the website.
Move the old Changelog for historical reasons.

+0.9.31  2 April 2010
+
+    Upgrade notices from previous versions.
+    o On x86_64 the format of /var/run/utmp changed compared to previous
+      versions. To retain compatibility with glibc we now define
+      __WORDSIZE_COMPAT32. If you are certain that you will never use
+      glibc nor run in i386 mode on your x86_64 installation, you can
+      remove this definition from wordsize.h.
+      Otherwise you have to delete /var/run/utmp on x86_64 hosts when
+      upgrading to 0.9.31
+    o The SHARED_LIB_LOADER_PREFIX was renamed to a single path
+      component called MULTILIB_DIR and defaults to 'lib'.
+
+0.9.27	12 January 2005
+
+    This has been a long time in the making...  Release highlights:
+	o New stdio implementation
+	o New optimized string functions
+	o Major improvements to the shared lib loader
+	o Shared libraries work properly on powerpc
+	o Debugging works on mips
+	o New architectures: frv, nios, nios2, bfin
+	o Linux 2.6.x kernel support
+	o Lots and lots of bug fixes
+
+    This release is NOT binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.26 or any earlier
+    release, so be prepared to recompile your software if you are still using
+    an old version of uClibc.
+

+
+
+0.9.26	3 January 2004
+
+    This simply adds a fix for a pthread bug that was noticed a few hours
+    after the previous release.  Otherwise identical to 0.9.25.
+
+    This release remains binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21-25 as long as
+    you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will break things.
+    We _were_ planning to break binary compatibilty in this release, but
+    decided to hold those changes so we could push out a bugfix release.
+
+    We _will_ break binary compatibilty in the upcoming 0.9.27 release to
+    implement a few things we have been postponing.  That should hopefully be
+    the last ABI change before we freeze the ABI for the upcoming 1.0.x
+    stable uClibc series.
+
+Release highlights:
+    o A trivial fix for a pthread bug
+    o Nothing else
+

+
+0.9.25	3 January 2004
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+
+Note:
+    This release remains binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21-24 as long as
+    you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will break things.
+    We _were_ planning to break binary compatibilty in this release, but
+    decided to hold those changes so we could push out a bugfix release.
+
+    We _will_ break binary compatibilty in the upcoming 0.9.26 release to
+    implement a few things we have been postponing.  That should hopefully be
+    the last ABI change before we freeze the ABI for the upcoming 1.0.x
+    stable uClibc series.
+
+Release highlights:
+    o Fixed a ton of problems found using the LTP and NIST test suites.
+	The few remaining test failures are obscure corner cases, such as
+	a few functions that fail (correctly) with incorrect errno values.
+    o Fixed a longstanding pthreads bug -- amoung other things, you no
+	longer need to explicitly add -lpthread for perl to work.
+    o Added some sh optimized string functions
+    o Added sh64 shared library support
+    o The default malloc implementation has been replaced, and will
+	now actually free memory when told to do so.
+    o Both popen() and exec*() now behave themselves per SuSv3
+    o Better 2.6.x kernel header support
+    o Added support for Position Independent Executables (PIE) on x86
+    o Lots of other minor cleanups
+
+ -Erik

+
+
+0.9.24	15 December 2003
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+
+Note:
+    This release remains binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21-23 as
+    long as you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will
+    break things.
+
+    We currently plan to break binary compatibilty in the upcoming 0.9.25 to
+    implement a few things we have been postponing, which will hopefully be
+    the last change....
+
+Release highlights:
+    o Fixed several silly configuration problems
+    o Added arm optimized string functions
+    o Lots of minor cleanups
+
+ -Erik
+
+
+
+
+
+0.9.23	13 November 2003
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+
+Note:
+    This release is binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 and 0.9.22 as
+    long as you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will
+    break things.  Enabling or disabling things like soft-float,
+    locale, wide wchar support, or changing cpu type are all good
+    examples of things that will break binary compatibility.
+
+Release highlights:
+    o Fixed several silly configuration problems that were
+	present in the 0.9.22 release.
+    o Fixed compilation problem with soft-float support on
+	several architectures.
+    o Lots of cleanup work on the powepc shared lib loader
+	thanks to Joakim Tjernlund.
+    o Updated the debian packaging for use in a standalone uClibc
+	system, rather than being a subordinate library under a
+	glibc based system.
+
+ -Erik
+
+
+
+
+
+0.9.22	8 November 2003
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+
+Note:
+    This release is binary compatible with the 0.9.21 release
+    if you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that
+    might break things for you (i.e. enabling or disabling things
+    like soft-float, locale, wide wchar support, or changing cpu
+    type are all good examples of binary incompatible config options).
+
+Release highlights:
+    o Added e1, microblaze, and sh64 architectures.
+    o Much improved soft-float support
+    o Rewrote the passwd and group handing functions
+	and implemented all SuSv3 required reentrant
+	versions.
+    o Reworked and updated the Config system.  You now
+	get to select your target architecture with the
+	config system.
+    o Fixed pthreads for mmuless m68k systems
+    o Added some x86 optimized string functions.
+    o Lots and lots of bugs fixed.
+
+ -Erik
+
+
+
+
+
+0.9.21	9 September 2003
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+
+Note:
+    This release is not binary compatible with earlier releases.
+    Sorry about that.  We have never promised to provide binary
+    compatibility until we hit version 1.0, and even then, if
+    you change your configuration.
+
+Release highlights:
+    o uClibc now has full ANSI/ISO C99 locale support (except
+	for wcsftime() and collating items in regex).
+    o Added support for using pre-generated locale data, making
+	it easy for mere mortals to use uClibc w/locale support.
+    o Lots of new tuning options added to trade size 
+	for features, allowing for smaller static binaries.
+    o The "dlopen()'ing libraries that depend on libraries"
+	problem was fixed.
+    o A new scanf implementation.  Well tested, but
+	brand new so watch for obscure bugs...
+    o Reworked and updated the Config system, adding several
+	nice new features which we now use.
+    o Lots and lots of sundry bug fixes and cleanups.
+

+
+0.9.20	30 June 2003
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+
+Note:
+    This release remains binary compatible with 0.9.18 and 0.9.19.
+
+
+Release highlights:
+    o Some ldd, profiling, and gcc wrapper updates 
+    o Updated to support and compile with gcc 3.3
+    o Several needed mips updates
+    o Building under cygwin should now work...
+    o Prevent non-PIC code getting into PIC libs
+    o Added mmap64 support
+    o mmu-less systems now get a 16k default thread stack size
+	which is much more sane than the old 2 MB default...
+    o Implemented syscall() for powerpc
+    o Optionally struct tm extension support
+    o Lots of other sundry little fixes and cleanups.
+    o Prevent buffer overflows in the passwd and group functions.
+
+ -Erik
+
+
+
+
+
+0.9.19	3 March 2003
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+
+Note:
+    This release remains binary compatible with 0.9.18 (except
+    for mips, but then mips was unusable in stock 0.9.18 anyways).
+
+
+Release highlights:
+    Stefan Allius
+	o Some Makefile and warning fixes
+    David Airlie
+	o Fixed gcc wrapper handling of ctor/dtor stuff when used in 
+	    with and w/o the nostdinc and nostdlib options
+    Erik Andersen
+	o Fixed a number of system call kernel type/user type translation
+	    problems that scrambled a handful of system calls.
+	o Fixup powerpc syscalls to eliminate warnings with gcc-3.2
+	o Fixed several ioctl special cases for powerpc
+	o Checked in forgotten mips kernel_types.h changes
+	o Fixed mips shared library loader bug that caused segfaults
+	o Major update to the pthreads library.  Should improve performance.
+	o Fixed uClibc's shared library loader so we can properly debug 
+	    applications using pthreads (must use gdb 5.3 or newer which
+	    was compiled using uClibc).
+	o Made uClibc's ldd act just the glibc provided one (i.e. relying
+	    on the shared lib loader to do the work) when it is possible to 
+	    doi so, and only rummage about the ELF headers when we have no
+	    other choice (such as when using 'ldd' on cross compiled stuff).
+    Miles Bader
+	o header file updates for v850 architecture
+	o Fixed v850 crt0.S __uClibc_main argument stack space
+    Jeffrey Damick
+	o Fixed res_init() so it properly reloads /etc/resolv.conf
+    Vadim Lebedev
+	o Fixed ARM setjmp when floating point was disabled
+    David McCullough
+	o Removed debug (-g) when building crti.o and crtn.o, as
+	    debug would mess up the build for SH4 and probably others.
+	o Fixed SH setjmp when floating point was enabled
+
+

+
+
+
+0.9.18	12 February 2003
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+
+Note:
+
+    Once again, this release is _NOT_ binary compatible with earlier 
+    releases.  I _think this will be the last time (with the possible
+    exception of some future changes to our locale support...)
+
+
+Release highlights:
+    Stefan Allius
+	o fixed a compile problem when large file support was disabled 
+	o fixed dlib_pic.o to compile with proper flags
+	o fixed a shared lib loader compile warning
+	o Made adding libgcc functions to uClibc optional
+    Erik Andersen
+	o Fixed scandir64 to not free the wrong pieces of memory 
+	    which caused segfaults
+	o Fixed mismatches between kernel and libc dirent structures 
+	o Fixed mismatches between the size of uClibc's struct dirent 
+	    and struct dirent64 so that when _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 we
+	    do not lose part of the filename
+	o Fixed getdents64.c so the build will not break when compiling
+	    vs a 2.0.x Linux kernel when UCLIBC_HAS_LFS is enabled
+	o Create stub crti.o and crtn.o files when UCLIBC_CTOR_DTOR is disabled
+	o Fixed licenses for a few files that erroneously were listed as GPL
+	    but were really LGPL after discussing with authors
+	o sigaction for x86 had an extra and unwanted sigaction syscall
+	o Fixed debugging of arm binaries by adding a .note.ABI-tag section
+    Miles Bader
+	o header file updates for v850 architecture
+	o Fixed v850 clone syscall
+    Christian Krause
+	o Fixed pthread_cond_timedwait to properly uses rt singals
+	    when available
+    Christophe Massiot
+	o Added mips _flush_cache syscall
+    David McCullough
+	o Added m68k brk syscall
+    Marshall M. Midden
+	o Fixed pipe implementation for mips

+0.9.17	25 January 2003
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+
+Note:
+
+    I have always reserved the right to make binary incompatible changes as
+    needed prior to the "1.0" release.  This release is a good example of
+    that.  A few bugs turned up that needed to be fixed and the only good way
+    to fix them was to change some fundamental data structure sizes.  So I did
+    just that.  As a result, this release is _NOT_ binary compatible with
+    earlier releases -- you will need to recompile your applications.
+
+
+Release highlights:
+    Stefan Allius
+	o fixed a number of shared library loader bugs
+	o setjmp, longjmp, clone, and vfork cleanups for the SH architecture
+	o Don't build the config system with ncurses unless asked to
+    Tobias Anderberg
+	o cris architecture updates
+    Erik Andersen
+	o Changed 'struct stat' and 'struct stat64' so they use types that
+	    are consistant with use elsewhere in the library.  Without this,
+	    subtle bugs would occur due to comparing signed and unsigned
+	    types (for example, GNU tar wouldn't work)
+	o Fixed dlopen so it works with staticly linked apps
+	o Fixed sigaction on arm architecture so sa_restorer works properly
+	o Fixed sigaction on x86 architecture for (fixed debugging threads)
+	o Fixed a wide char related segfault in the regular expression code
+	o Powerpc pread and pwrite are now implemented correctly
+	o Powerpc syscall mechanism re-implemented
+	o Sparc architecture and syscall mechanism fixed up so things compile
+	o usershell reimplemented
+	o Fixed global destructors for staticly linked applications
+	o Added dynamic atexit support (needed for full C++ ctor/dtor support)
+	o The ldd utility now acts more like the GNU utility
+	o Added a stub libnsl library to make stupid configure scripts bahave
+	o Always build crt1.o as well as crt0.o to minimize the need to mess
+	    with the compiler
+	o Rewrote powerpc crt0.S to properly handle ctors/dtors
+	o Removed unimplemented and legacy stuff from our header files to
+	    make configure behave better
+	o Made the lib loader also support libs in /usr/X11R6/lib by default
+	o Config system updates
+	o networking function updates
+	o Large file support updates
+	o Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups
+    Nick Fedchik
+	o Support ether_aton
+    Nathan Field
+	o Fixed pthread_mutex_lock and pthread_mutex_unlock so they
+	    actually work as advertised on mips
+	o Fixed several nasty pthread bugs fixing debugging
+    Brett Hunt
+	o Fixed potential segfaults during 'make menuconfig'
+    Jay Kulpinski
+	o Fixed a subtle problem in the DNS resolver that prevented
+	    uncompressed DNS lookup responses from working
+    David McCullough
+	o Fixed pclose error handling
+    David Meggy
+	o fixed the problem where arm binaries would crash on start
+	  that Erik stupidly caused right before the last release.
+    Manuel Novoa III
+	o Major locale support update!
+	o Allow people to use pregenerated locale data instead of generating
+	    approx 40Mb of glibc locales to get the 300+ locales currently
+	    supported.
+	o locale dependent collation support
+	o Fixed locale support tools to work when cross-compiling
+	o Added the *wprintf functions
+	o Added the wcsto{inttype} functions
+	o Added iconv() and a mini iconv utility
+	o Added hsearch and hsearch_r
+	o Fixed a silly bug allowing wprintf %s to work correctly.
+	o Fixed fdopen when used with "a" (append).
+	o Fixed stdio file position handing to be sure fell() always
+	    gives correct results
+    Luc Van Oostenryck
+	o Fixed a buffer overflow in getlogin_r
+    Yoshinori Sato
+	o Hitachi h8300 architecture update
+    Ronald Wahl
+	o Powerpc shared library relocation fixes
+

+
+0.9.16	8 November 2002
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+
+Release highlights:
+    o   CRIS architecture and shared library support from Tobias Anderberg 
+    o   New uClibc configuration system
+    o   shared library global constructors and destructors initialization
+	ordering fixed by Stefan Allius
+    o   More SuperH architecture fixes from Stefan Allius 
+    o   uClibc now compiles with newer versions of gcc (i.e. RedHat 8.0)
+    o   uClibc no longer requires perl to compile
+    o   mips dlopen was fixed by Steven J. Hill
+    o   pty and tty handling fixes
+    o   Manuel Novoa added support for a new /etc/TZ file for globally
+	setting the system timezone.
+    o   Manuel also fixed up a number of remaining wide char issues. 
+    o   Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups
+
+ -Erik
+
+
+
+0.9.15	27 August 2002
+
+This is a minor bugfix release.
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+Release highlights:
+    o   Eliminated the HAS_LONG_LONG option.  gcc always supports 
+	long long, and the option never excluded all long long anyways.
+    o   ctype.h no longer allows multiple argument evaluation in 
+	compliance with ANSI/ISO C99
+    o   Obscure printf fixes -- one involving %o and one involving %f.
+    o   Bugfixes for locking and reentrance in password/group functions 
+    o   Directly use kernel types for most items, eliminating needless
+	translation and fixing several bugs.
+    o   Directly use kernel struct stat -- no more translating
+    o   More superH (sh) architecture merging from Stefan Allius 
+    o   Errno values and strerror are now correct on alpha, sparc, and mips
+    o   Fixed an obscure bug with fclose when custom streams are enabled.
+    o   Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups
+
+ -Erik
+
+
+
+0.9.14	12 August 2002
+
+This is a minor bugfix release.
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+Release highlights:
+    o   Fix a compile error when RPC and Pthread support
+	were both enabled.
+    o   Eliminate duplicate define warnings in wstring.c.
+    o   Fix potentially broken preprocessor comparisons.
+    o   Erik was an idiot and broke thread locking in exit(),
+	atexit() and friends.  Fix that.
+    o   Fix the gcc wrapper to use crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o when 
+	compiling PIC code (crtbegin.o and crtend.o) otherwise.
+
+ -Erik
+
+
+
+
+0.9.13	9 August 2002
+
+Security Fixes
+    o   There was an off-by-one buffer overflow in the group 
+	handling code, fix thanks to Joseph Chiu. 
+    o   There was an integer overflow bug in calloc, per
+	    http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5398
+    o   There was an integer overflow bug in the xdr_array 
+	RPC code, per http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5356
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+Release highlights:
+    o   Add full shared library support for Hitachi SuperH (sh)
+	thanks to Stefan Allius and Edie C. Dost 
+    o   Lots of reentrance cleanups (we should now be fully
+	reentrant when compiled with pthread support).
+    o   Miles Bader implemented a new mmap based malloc which is much
+	smarter than the old "malloc-simple", and actually works, unlike
+	the old "malloc".  This is now the default for mmu-less systems
+	and should greatly help reduce memory fragmentation and wastage.
+    o   Reworked syscall handling for i386 and ARM, smaller and cleaner.
+    o   Support for the syscall() function on i386 and ARM
+    o   The uClibc g++ wrapper now  automagically adds the proper include
+	search path and and libraries.
+    o   Lots of shared library loader updates
+    o   dlopen'd shred libraries not properly run destructors
+	when ctor/dtor support is enabled
+    o   pread/pwrite/pread64/pwrite64 now all work as expected
+    o   Lots and lots of other bug fixes and cleanups.
+
+ -Erik
+
+
+
+
+0.9.12	20 June 2002
+
+See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
+Release highlights:
+    o   Add full shared library support for mips (big and little
+	endian), thanks to a lot of hard work from Steven J. Hill
+    o   i960 architecture support, thanks to Martin Proulx
+    o   An initial alpha port (works, but needs some cleanup)
+    o   Fixes shared library support for powerpc
+    o   Fixes for mmu-less systems
+    o   Much improved thread locking and reentrance.
+    o   More gcc wrapper updates.  XFree86 really does link 
+	this time around.  It still didn't last time.
+    o   Libcrypt now passes conformance tests
+    o   Nearly complete locale supporti thanks to a lot
+	of hard work by Manuel Novoa III.  This stuff is
+	_way_ smaller than glibc's
+    o   Completely new time handling functions also by Manuel
+    o   Lots of other bug fixes and cleanups.
+

+
+Erik Andersen:
+0.9.11	10 April 2002
+
+Release highlights:
+    o   Lots of bug fixes
+    o   Much better large file support
+    o   Several gcc wrapper bug fixes, so things like iproute2 and
+	XFree86 should now link properly.
+    o   Fixes a stdio thread locking bug that could cause random 
+	deadlocks on s*printf calls when threading was enabled.
+
+Erik Andersen:
+    o   Added a generic implementation of truncate64.c and ftruncate64.c
+    o   Added missing creat64, glob64, mkstemp64, getrlimit64, setrlimit64
+    o   Removed internal erroneous use of __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
+    o   Made libpthread compile on sparc and powerpc
+    o   Made libpthread soname and symlinks match the other libraries.
+    o   Added finite() to the C89 math lib, since some math functions use it.
+    o   Added missing function pointer to error.c (some apps wanted it)
+    o   Fixed initfini build for arches where gcc tries to be sneaky
+    o   Fixed m68k/bits/setjmp.h which I has broken in the last release.
+    o   Fixed a buffer overflow in the dynamic library loader
+    o   Fixed a stdio thread locking bug that could cause random 
+	deadlocks on s*printf calls when threading was enabled.
+    o   Implemented sqrtf(), needed for libstdc++ on arm
+Miles Bader:
+    o   Make clean fixes to not blindly wipe all symlinks
+    o   Re-enabled clnt_perror()
+    o   Re-implemented swab()
+Dwayne Fontenot:
+    o   Many updates to the uClibc Working Application List 
+Steven J. Hill:
+    o   Many updates to the mips dynamic loader.  Not yet working but
+	getting very close now.
+    o   Fixed locking bug in getttyent()
+    o   Support libpthread on mips
+Richard June:
+    o   Fixed several bugs in utmp code (pututline was only writing the 
+	first sizeof-a-pointer bytes to the utmpfile).
+    o   setutent() was only opening utmp readonly.
+m4@brecis.COM:
+    o   Fixed a silly typing problem with the getuid syscall.
+Manuel Novoa III:
+    o   Fixed stdio FILE read/write auto-transition bugs.
+    o   Better stdio errno handling
+    o   Changed setvbuf() to more closely match glibc's behavior
+    o   Fixed getpass() to not echo passwords to the console
+    o   Fixed locale ISblank flag.
+    o   Fixed an arg promotion handling bug in _do_one_spec for %c reported
+	by Ilguiz Latypov.
+Kensuke Otake:
+    o   Implemented swab()
+Yoshinori Sato:
+    o   Fixed h8300 architecture support for pthreads and changes to
+	the include files
+David Schleef:
+    o   Made powerpc assembly code PIC-compatible
+    o   Removed powerpc R_PPC_REL24 handling, since it was deceptively useless.
+John Traill:
+    o   Several types on powerpc, such as dev_t, are different than on other 
+	architectures.  John spotted this, which fixed a _ton_ of problems since
+	anything calling stat() was previously broken.
+Jim Treadway:
+    o   Eliminated use of alarm() from the DNS resolver by converting
+	it to use select instead (much cleaner).
+
+
+
+

+
+
+
+0.9.10	21 March 2002
+
+Major new features:
+    o   pthreads support (derived from glibc 2.1.3's linuxthreads library)
+	    by Stefan Soucek and Erik Andersen
+    o   pthreads support for MMU-less systems, by Stefan Soucek

+David Schleef:
+    o   Debian packaging updates

+
+
+0.9.9	February  4, 2002
+
+Erik Andersen:
+    o   A bunch of doc updates.  Major update to the working
+	apps list.
+    o   Added a configurator script (extra/Configs/uClibc_config_fix.pl)
+	which can simplify configuring uClibc.
+    o   Fixed setjmp/longjmp on x86,arm,powerpc,mips,and sparc.
+	Hitting ^C in ash kills client apps now, not ash. 
+    o   Reworked signal handling code so it now passes POSIX 
+	conformance tests.
+    o   Fixed sleep and usleep to work correctly when
+	interrupted by signals.
+    o   Made getopt behave the same when staticly linking
+	as when dynamicly linking.  It was using different
+	implementations depending on how apps were linked.
+    o   Added missing inttypes.h header file
+    o   Eliminate all C++ style comments from header files
+    o   Support statvfs and statfs
+    o   Support getmntent_r

+	host system
+    o   Fix several cases where get-needed-libgcc-objects.sh
+	could fail, breaking the shared uClibc library.
+    o   Include all shared library loader objects into a
+	single C file, thereby reducing its size further.
+    o   Reworked the shared library linking process to be more 
+	flexible so that gcc and ld can more easily be built to
+	target uClibc library.
+    o   Better error checking in the Makefiles.  Be more pedantic
+	about tar, chmod, etc to avoid system dependent failures.
+    o   We can now autodetect the target architecture
+    o   Hide references to wchar_t so GNU autoconf
+	configure scripts won't get confused and try to 
+	enable wide char support. 
+    o   Fixed stdio.h so apps can use varargs.h if they want to.
+    o   Added brk/sbrk support for ARM, powerpc, mips, and sparc
+	and set them to default to the much faster brk using malloc
+    o   Added missing syscalls: get_kernel_syms, fcntl64,
+	fdatasync, sched_setparam, sched_getparam,
+	sched_setscheduler, sched_getscheduler,
+	sched_get_priority_max, sched_get_priority_min,

+    o   Fixes for the v850 architecture: crt0, setjmp, 
+	arch autodetection, etc.
+    o   Fixed `make install' to not build ldso stuff on
+	non-shared-library systems.
+Michael E Brown:
+    o   Allow the gcc wrapper to support setting DEVEL_PREFIX
+	and BUILD_DIR at runtime (no more need to recompile).
+M. R. Brown and Erik Andersen:
+    o   Fixed the SH port so it now works.  Tested and shown
+	working on an SH4 Dreamcast system.
+Kim Heino:
+    o   Made 'make clean' remove generated bits/syscall.h
+David McCullough:
+    o   SH architecture updates.  Added brk, sbrk,
+    o   Fixed simple malloc to work on systems with an MMU
+    o   Taught getutent to return NULL if utmp doesn't exist. 
+    o   Added insque/remque support
+    o   Fixed DNS resolver version number so apps won't get
+	confused and use the wrong API.
+    o   Added Config selectable shadow password support
+Yoshinori Sato
+    o   Contributed support for the Hitach H8/300H architecture 
+Cédric Schieli:

+	strip unneeded content from the uClibc shared 
+	libraries.
+Martin Sieper
+    o   Added getw() and putw()
+    o   Added missing header files -- lastlog.h, sgtty.h, 
+	netipx/ipx.h, sys/perm.h
+Stefan Soucek:
+    o   Add rcmd support, i.e. rsh, rlogin, etc.
+    o   Fix rcmd to avoid alloca, which is dangerous
+	on mmu-less systems
+spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr:
+    o   Eliminate a buffer overflow in the shared library loader
+Brian Stafford:
+    o   Enable support for Unix98 PTYs, and add option
