Lu * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sigset.h (__sigisemptyset): Fix a typo. 1997-04-03 16:10 Andreas Jaeger * sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_nanf.c: * sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_nan.c: * sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_nanl.c: Include for declaration of sprintf. 1997-04-03 13:37 Ulrich Drepper * sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_cexp.c: Fix type: string_alias -> strong_alias. Reported by sun . * rpc/auth.h: Removed. * rpc/auth_des.h: Removed. * sunrpc/rpc/auth.h: Moved to ... * sysdeps/generic/rpc/auth.h: ...here. * sunrpc/rpc/auth_des.h: Moved to ... * sysdeps/generic/rpc/auth_des.h: ...here. 1997-04-03 04:28 Ulrich Drepper * sysdeps/libm-i387/s_frexp.S: New file. ix87 optimized version. * sysdeps/libm-i387/s_frexpf.S: New file. * sysdeps/libm-i387/s_frexpl.S: New file. 1997-04-01 10:11 H.J.
