Please get it from tsx-11.mit.edu under pub/linux/GCC. I am trying to
move the files on fgb1.fgb.mw.tu-muenchen.de. But our conection to it
is down. I will try again tomorrow.

Fri Sep 11 13:29:05 1992  H.J. Lu  (hlu@poly2)

	* rearrange the file structures of gcc. separate compiler from
	  libraries and header files. Here is the new structure:

	  1. static libraries are in /usr/lib.
	  2. jump table version of shared library stubs are in
	     /usr/lib/shlib/jump.
	  3. classic version of shared library stubs are in
	     /usr/lib/shlib/nojump
	  4. default for gcc is jump table. the other options are -nojump
	     and -static. -g and -pg will use the corresponding static
	     libraries.

        * shared images are in a separate package.

	* from this release on, the gcc will follow the FSF naming. the
	  libraries will be named after jump table version number. the
	  current versions are gcc 2.2.2d, the Linux C library 4.1 and
	  the Linux math library 4.0. the Linux math library won't change
	  with the minor version number. so for all the version y.xxx's,
	  there is only one release of math library, version `y.0'.

	* file list for gcc 2.2.2d, libc 4.1 and libm 4.0:

	  1. 222d7.TZ
	     gcc 2.2.2d linked with jump table 4.1. it has gcc, cc1,
	     cc1plus and cpp. it also has version dependent header
	     files. unpack it under /.

	  2. lib41.tar
	     static libraries and shared library stubs. it has lib-4.1.TZ
	     and lib-4.1.sh. run lib-4.1.sh will install lib-4.1.TZ. do
	     
	     lib-4.1.sh

	     you have to have a real sh to run it. This script is used to
	     install the math library, soft or hard.

	  3. inc-4.1.TZ
	     header files for lib 4.1. unpack it under /. You have to make
	     two symbolic links. one from include/linux of kernel source
	     to /usr/include/linux, another from include/asm of kernel
	     source to /usr/include/asm. There is a file,
	     /usr/include/linux/const.h. You have to move it to
	     include/linux of kernel source before you make symbolic link.
	     unpack it under /.

	  4. jump41.tar
	     shared images for jump table 4.1. it has jump-4.1.TZ and
	     jump-4.1.sh. do

	     jump-4.1.sh

	     to install jump-4.1.TZ. this script is used to install the
	     shared math image, soft or hard.

	  5. libdp-4.1.TZ
	     libc_p.a and libg.a. unpack it under /.

	  6. jump-src-4.1.TZ
	     scripts for build jump table 4.1. almost no documentations.
	     contributions are welcome.

	  7. lib-src-4.1.TZ
	     source code for the Linux C library 4.1.

        * the install procedures are minimal. it didn't do much file
	  permission fixing. fix them when you find they are wrong.

	* this release contains no new binaries for gcc, cc1, cc1plus or
	  cpp. only things changed are in libraries.

Mon Sep  7 13:44:09 1992  H.J. Lu  (hlu@poly2)

	* change to jump table 4.1

	* add prefix __ to header files.

	* use strftime from shellutils 1.7 to replace the one from
	  glibc.a 1.03.	

Sat Sep  5 16:57:21 1992  H.J. Lu  (hlu@poly2)

	* swapoff, wait4 (real one, need 0.97 pl3 or above) are
	  added.

	* vm86 () and <sys/vm86.h> are added.

Fri Sep  4 17:31:44 1992  H.J. Lu  (hlu@meriadoc)

	* change jump table to 4.0. Add __brk_addr to global data.
	  fix streambuf static member, _list_all.

Wed Sep  2 13:01:59 1992  H.J. Lu  (hlu@poly2)

	* __overflow () and __underflow () are moved into a separate file
	  to facilitate the implementation of jump table.

	* getdtablesize () returns OPEN_MAX.

Mon Aug 31 16:14:38 1992  H.J. Lu  (hlu@poly2)

	* new getpass () from poeigl-1.6.tar.Z.
	
	* add C++ wrapper in setjmp.h.

	* GNU regex 0.9 is used.

	* file lock in gdbm is changed for real thing in 0.97 pl 2.

	* ntol? () and hton? () netinet/in.h are fixed. 

Thu Aug 27 00:12:10 1992  H.J. Lu  (hlu@yoda)

	* regex (version 0.9) from shellutiles-1.7 is used.

	* bsd style signal () is added in <signal.h>. define _USE_BSD_SIGNAL
	  to use it.

	* sigblock and sigpause () are added.

	* ftw () is added. It is untested. It uses seekdir and telldir ().
	  I am afraid it may not work with VFS.

Wed Aug 26 00:17:33 1992  H.J. Lu  (hlu@fili)

	* scandir () and alphasort () are added.

	* killpg () is added to <signa.h>.

Sun Aug 23 14:49:23 1992  H.J. Lu  (hlu@poly2)

	* some files are changed for the new shared image scheme.

	* ypu have to have 0.97 pl 2 or above to use it.

	* define WTMP_FILENAME and UTMP_FILENAME as WTMP_FILE and
	  UTMP_FILE in  <utmp.h>.

Sat Aug 22 10:57:11 1992  H.J. Lu  (hlu@luke)

	* fix re_comp ("").

	* setfileno () is added to stdio. don't use it unless you have to.

	* use POSIX signals in curses, ./posix/system.c and
	  ./iostream/procbuf.C

This is the testing release for jump table 4.1. You have to use
0.97 pl4 to run it. It is not compatible with the jump tables older
than 4.0. This version starts at 0x60000000.

You can get them from tsx-11 or fgb1.fgb.mw.tu-muenchen.de under
pub/linux/GCC.

Before you install this release, please backup and delete

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.2.2d

Also please remove `*.h' and `sys' in xxxxx/src/linux/include. Only 
keep `asm' and `linux' in there. After correctly installing this
release, you can safely remove -nostdinc and -Ixxxxx/src/linux/include
from kernel Makefile.

Please read ChangeLog for installation, changes and file lists.

Here is the bonus come with jump table 4.1.

1. binutils.TZ
All new stuffs, linked with jump table 4.1. Unpack it under /.

2. bin4.tar
It has bin4.TZ and bin4.sh. Run

bin4.sh bin4.TZ

to install it. bin4.TZ has fileutils 3.3, shellutils 1.7,
textutils 1.3, gnu tar 1.10, ldd 1.1, compress 4.2.3 and zsh 2.20.
Unpack it under /. Fix permission for /bin/su.

3. usrbin4.TZ
diff 1.15, find 3.7, grep 1.6, ispell 3.07, make 3.62, gawk 2.13.2,
flex 2.3.7, bison 1.18, patch 2.0.12u7, sed 1.09, gdb 4.6 and
elvis 1.6. Unpack it under /.

4. usrlib4.TZ
supporting stuffs for usrlib4.TZ. Unpack it under /.

5. binsrc.TZ
source code for ar, gprof, ld, nm, objdump, ranlib, size and strip

6. ld.c.diff
patch for ld.c relative to binutils-src.tar.Z released with gcc 2.2.2d.

All the binaries are linked with the jump table 4.1. Not all of them
are tested. I will make jump table 4.x with glibc 1.04 when I get time.
You just need to do this

cd /lib
ln -sf libc.so.4.x libc.so.4

There is a ChangeLog under /usr/install/gcc2.
