 Appendix C Installing the GNU C Library
 ***************************************
 
 Before you do anything else, you should read the FAQ at
 <http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/FAQ>.  It answers common questions and
 describes problems you may experience with compilation and installation.
 
    Features can be added to the GNU C Library via "add-on" bundles.
 These are separate tar files, which you unpack into the top level of the
 source tree.  Then you give 'configure' the '--enable-add-ons' option to
 activate them, and they will be compiled into the library.
 
    You will need recent versions of several GNU tools: definitely GCC
 and GNU Make, and possibly others.   Tools for Compilation,
 below.
