+[Q13] ``How do I configure GNU libc so that the essential libraries
+ like libc.so go into /lib and the other into /usr/lib?''
+
+[A13] {UD} Like all other GNU packages GNU libc is configured to use a
+base directory and install all files relative to this. If you intend
+to really use GNU libc on your system this base directory is /usr. I.e.,
+you run
+ configure --prefix=/usr <other_options>
+
+Some systems like Linux have a filesystem standard which makes a
+difference between essential libraries and others. Essential
+libraries are placed in /lib because this directory is required to be
+located on the same disk partition as /. The /usr subtree might be
+found on another partition/disk.
+
+To install the essential libraries which come with GNU libc in /lib
+one must explicitly tell this. Autoconf has no option for this so you
+have to use the file where all user supplied additional information
+should go in: `configparms' (see the `INSTALL' file). For Linux the
+`configparms' file should contain:
+
+slibdir=/lib
+sysconfdir=/etc
+
+The first line specifies the directory for the essential libraries,
+the second line the directory for file which are by tradition placed
+in a directory named /etc.
