In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
-GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[34567]86-*-gnu. The current
+GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.
When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
-requires Linux kernel version 2.6.16 or later.
+requires Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later.
Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.
The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:
- i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
- x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32
- powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware floating point required
- powerpc64-*-linux-gnu
- s390-*-linux-gnu
- s390x-*-linux-gnu
- sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
- sparc*-*-linux-gnu
- sparc64*-*-linux-gnu
-
-The code for other CPU configurations supported by volunteers outside of
-the core glibc maintenance effort is contained in the `ports' add-on,
-located in the `ports' subdirectory of the source tree.
