 GCC patches may be sent to gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org.  To my
 knowledge there is no one maintaining libc5 anymore, so there
 is no place to send patches.

>Description:
I had severe problems building gcc-3.2 for i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1, in part
due to libc5 (5.4.38) headers, but mostly due to gcc itself.

I am not quite sure if linux-gnulibc1 is still officially supported, but I
sort of need a compiler for such systems and wanted to upgrade to
gcc-3.2.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try building gcc-3.2 on a linux-gnulibc1 system (if you still have one)

>Fix:
PLEASE: give me a mail address where I can send details and an attachment
with the fixes I had to apply (both to libc5's string.h and to the gcc-3.2
source).
