Glibc 2.4 development branch for debian-glibc package

[GOTO Masanori <gotom@sanori.org>]

As Roland declared glibc 2.4 release plan in the list, I create glibc
2.4 branch for developing debian-glibc package based on glibc-2.4.

You can pull 2.4 branch from:

  svn co svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-glibc/glibc-package/branches/glibc-2.4

It's based on the latest svn trunk revision 1255.

This branch may be hard work because the official glibc does not
support linuxthreads any more.  We need to confirm they can be still
ok with kernel 2.4 series.  So our work cannot be finished before
Roland release 2.4.

I think the current glibc 2.3.6 leaded by Aurelien will be in
unstable, and glibc 2.4 branch will be entered after a lot of tests in
experimental, like we experienced in glibc (ex:) 2.2->2.3 or nptl
transition.

Aurelien already worked a lot (and thanks to Clint, Denis, too!), and
he said he had a lot of TODOs.  He told me that he would concentrate
for 2.3.6 development for a while.  2.4 branch will synchronize with
2.3.6 (and 2.3.7?) trunk periodically.
