queries about porting glibc

[Jim Nordby]

Hello,

I'm in the process of porting glibc to the Cray X1 and follow-on
(craynv) architecture.  I've downloaded glibc-2.3.2 and have gotten
through a partial build.  I had a few questions:

- I can't remember where I read it, but I saw a statement implying
  that you needed linuxthreads to successfully port glibc to a
  Linux machine.  Is this true?  If so, why?

- Is there a mailing list where all mods to glibc go?
  Is there an archive of all post-2.3.2 mods to glibc (so I can
    check whether any fixes I've made have already been fixed)?
  Is there a CVS source tree somewhere?

- Where would I send any glibc fixes?  bug-glibc, I suppose?
  What format is recommended for fixes?

Thanks very much,
