Update.
1999-11-25 H.J. Lu <hjl@gnu.org> * stdlib/exit.c (exit): Run funtions only if __exit_funcs->idx > 0. 1999-11-25 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * manual/charset.texi (iconv Examples): Add iconv call to flush state. Reported by Andrew Clausen <clausen@alphalink.com.au>. 1999-11-25 Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de> * manual/install.texi (Running make install): Better describe update from libc5. Patch by Michael Deutschmann <michael@talamasca.wkpowerlink.com>. 1999-11-25 Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de> * include/sys/mman.h: Remove K&R compatibility. 1999-11-15 Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de> * misc/sys/mman.h: Use __REDIRECT for mmap, correct prototype to use __off64_t. 1999-11-25 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * iconv/iconv_prog.c (process_block): For stateful charsets write out byte sequence to get to initial state at the end of the file. which was reported to not work (which proofed to be wrong).

This minimizes the risk of breaking things when the library changes out
from underneath.
+If you're upgrading from Linux libc5 or some other C library, you need to
+replace the @file{/usr/include} with a fresh directory before installing it.
+The new @file{/usr/include} should contain the Linux headers, but nothing else.
+
+You must first build the library (@samp{make}), optionally check it
+(@samp{make check}), switch the include directories and then install
+(@samp{make install}). The steps must be done in this order. Not moving
+the directory before install will result in an unusable mixture of header
+files from both libraries, but configuring, building, and checking the
+library requires the ability to compile and run programs against the old
+library.

by setting the @code{install_root} variable on the command line for
