If you are upgrading from a previous installation of glibc 2.0 or
2.1, `make install' will do the entire job. If you're upgrading from
Linux libc5 or some other C library, you need to rename the old

-a mixture of header files from both libraries, and you won't be able to

On Alpha machines you need at least EGCS 1.1.1. Earlier versions
don't work reliably.
For PPC you might need some patches even on top of the last
binutils version. See the FAQ.

adjacent values if the @code{FLT_RADIX} is not a power of 2,
