* GCC 3.4 or newer, GCC 4.1 recommended

The GNU C library can only be compiled with the GNU C compiler
family. For the 2.3 releases, GCC 3.2 or higher is required; GCC
3.4 is the compiler we advise to use for 2.3 versions. For the
2.4 release, GCC 3.4 or higher is required; as of this writing,
GCC 4.1 is the compiler we advise to use for current versions. On
certain machines including `powerpc64', compilers prior to GCC 4.0
have bugs that prevent them compiling the C library code in the
2.4 release. On other machines, GCC 4.1 is required to build the C
library with support for the correct `long double' type format;
these include `powerpc' (32 bit), `s390' and `s390x'.
For the 2.4 release or later, GCC 3.4 or higher is required; as of

headers are needed (like `cpuid.h' on x86) which only come with
later compiler versions.

You can use whatever compiler you like to compile programs that
use GNU libc, but be aware that both GCC 2.7 and 2.8 have bugs in
