 -- Mike Goldman <whig@by.net>  Thu, 29 Jul 1999 13:11:04 -0400

libgc (1:4.14-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Incorporated NMU updates by Adam DiCarlo (thanks!) (Closes Bug#41222)
   * libgc4-dev conflicts with bigloo less than 2.0e-1, since that package
     had a libgc.so symlink in it (Closes Bug#39427)
   * the bigloo maintainer and the w3m maintainer's experience seems to
     support the notion that threading even on i386 is not a good idea.  It
     might be desired later to have a threaded version of libgc provided
     somehow as well, but AFAI(Adam)CT, threading is causing problems and
     isn't necessary for any software using libgc
   * must disable threads on non-i386 architectures because gc_priv.h only
     has an implementation for GC_test_and_set in i386 assembly
     (closes important Bug#39285)
   * adapt patch for powerpc GC_test_and_set (closes Bug#41063), allowing
     powerpc to use LINUX_THREADS
   * compile with the '-DDONT_ADD_BYTE_AT_END' switch, claimed to be needed
     by bigloo
