LIBC 0.6.1 / GCC 3.3.5 CSD1

[Knut St. Osmundsen]

Hi,

I've put out the first LIBC 0.6 bugfix release. The bugs are listed in
the release notes excerpt below. Now, I'm trying a "new" approach to
backwards compatability here, at least it's different from what we did
with the libc05.dll CSD1. I've called the dll libc061.dll, but for
upgrading I provide a libc06.dll forwarder dll. [A forwarder dll means
that the entrypoints of the dlls are rerouted to a different dll -
libc061.dll in this case - when the loader is querying the entrypoint
address. There is a tiny overhead on the resolving, that's all.]

The zips can be found at netlabs:

ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/gcc-3.3.5-csd1-doc.zip
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/gcc-3.3.5-csd1.zip

I've also put out fresh builds of some of my build tools (unsupported):

Enjoy,

#22 libc: path resolver fails on open file
#23 libc: symlink is broken
#50 libc: umask isn't inherited
#51 libc: unlink fails on readonly file
#53 libc: freopen("missing",,) causes panic

resolving
