Hi Andreas,

Thank you for your valuable comments on our libc patch for SH.
I'd like to fix our patch according to your suggestions ASAP.

I want to clarify one point:

Of course our official target is Linux kernel 2.3 (and now 2.4) but we
have some 2.2-based implementations too. I'd like to support them also.

Now we can make glibc-2.2 successfully in SH box though many things
should be corrected.
Thanks again for your advice.

Regards,
