Bug#698711: libc6-dev: FAQ says glibc only ported to Hurd and Linux 2.x
Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.13-37
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/doc/libc6-dev/FAQ.gz
Dear Maintainer,
In the answer to question 1.1, "What systems does the GNU C Library run
on?", the [e]glibc FAQ lists GNU Hurd, a bunch different architectures
supported with Linux 2.x, and "ARM on standalone systems", but says that
"Currently no ports to other operating systems are underway", when it
has obviously also been ported to the FreeBSD kernel.
