Some bugs surely remain.

-Former releases of this library (version 1.09.1 and perhaps earlier
-versions) used to run on the following configurations:
-
- alpha-dec-osf1
- i[3456]86-*-bsd4.3
- i[3456]86-*-isc2.2
- i[3456]86-*-isc3

-Since no one has volunteered to test and fix the above configurations,
-these are not supported at the moment. It's expected that these don't
-work anymore. Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested
-in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers by sending
-electronic mail to <bug-glibc@gnu.org>.
-
-The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
-provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.
-Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations,
-we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C
-library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is
-called `glibc-crypt-2.0.99.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt
-distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can
-also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA
-can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.ifi.uio.no
-[129.240.64.21], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive
-maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives
-outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.ifi.uio.no; transferring this
-distribution from ftp.gnu.org (or any other site in the USA) to a
-site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws.
-
-Beside the separate crypt tar file there are some more add-ons which can be
-used together with GNU libc. They are designed in a way to ease the
-installation by integrating them in the libc source tree. Simply get the
-add-ons you need and use the --enable-add-ons option of the `configure'
-script to tell where the add-ons are found. Please read the FAQ file for
-more details.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
the GNU C library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the
in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what
facilities you want it to make available.
-We prefer to get bug reports sent using the `glibcbug' shell script which
-is installed together with the rest of the GNU libc to <bugs@gnu.org>.
-Simply run this shell script and fill in the information. Nevertheless
-you can still send bug reports to <bug-glibc@gnu.org> as normal electronic
-mails.
+Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
+information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
+This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
