The GNU C library version 2 has been released to public. It is used for
Linux as the C library version 6. It can be found at

ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu

and its mirror sites. It compiles right out of box for Linux and
suppors more architectures in addition to x86 and m68k. There are
new Linux packages which is based on glibc 2, aka libc 6. You
can get more information from

http://www.debian.org
http://www.redhat.com

I will continue to support libc 5, mainly for bug fixes, as long as
necessary. But glibc 2, aka, libc 6 is recommended. There will be
no new features in libc 5.
