-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>.

+Past releases of this library ran on a variety of configurations that are

There are some add-ons which can be used together with GNU libc. They
are designed in a way to ease the installation by integrating them in
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
-conditions.
