Weekly roundup 01/29/2006

[Tom Gall <tom_gall at vnet dot ibm dot com>]

Greets all,

Apologies this is late but I was ill for a few days.

--------------------------------------------------

Please take note of the ABI freeze note and discussion for 
glibc 2.4.
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2006-01/msg00016.html

One correction:
Rejected: __hidden_ver1() macro handles USER_LABEL_PREFIX
incorrectly ?
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2006-01/msg00100.html
Mike Frysinger

As Mike pointed out, "the usage of USER_LABEL_PREFIX in general was
discouraged" and bugzilla #2198 was opened to track the issue.


General format is for each mailing list,
