-This directory contains the files needed to build glibc for the Debian
-GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd distributions.
-
-If you have pulled this version from CVS, you will probably need to go
-and get the tar.bz2 files that match the file 'version'. You can
-generally find these at sources.redhat.com in pub/libc. Put both the
-regular glibc tar.bz2 *AND* the matching linuxthreads tar.bz2. After
-that follow the usual build procedures.
-
-Compiling the GNU C library yourself requires a lot of resources. For
-a complete build using dpkg-buildpackage you need at least 750MB free
-disk space and at least 16MB of RAM and 32MB of swap space (if you
-have only that much you're better off not running X at the same
-time). Note that the C library on the Hurd is also somewhat larger:
-you'll need over 800MB of free disk space to build Hurdish packages.
-
-A complete build takes 45 minutes on a Pentium III 735Mhz machine, and
-25 minutes to run the test suite. The cause for this is the intricate
-Makefile structure of glibc which needs a lot of computing power for
-make to figure out the automatically generated dependencies. If you
-are building all of the optimized libraries for the IA32 family, allow
-2.5 hours for this build.
-
-For Linux, you will need at least the kernel headers for the specific
-kernel version required for your machine's architecture. These are
-specified in the `debian/sysdeps/linux.mk' file, and can be overridden
-by exporting the environment variable LINUX_SOURCE set to the path to
-the desired kernel.
-
-For the Hurd, you will need to have installed the GNU Mach and Hurd
-header files (which come with the `gnumach-dev' and `hurd-dev'
-packages). See the Hurd source package's `INSTALL' file for more
-information.
-
-Please consider reading the `FAQ' file in this directory. It is also
-suggested that you also read the `README' and `INSTALL' files in the
-top-level of the glibc source tree.
