18 Hi,
19 Don't know if this will help, but here'e the enotice from my glibc-2.3.6-r3:
20 ...BEGIN...
21 info:Building GLIBC with NPTL...
22 info:Installing GLIBC default with NPTL ...
23 info:Installing info pages...
24 info:userlocales not enabled, installing -ALL- locales...
25 info:Installing man pages...
26 info:Gentoo's glibc now disables multicast dns by default in our
27 info:example host.conf. To re-enable this functionality, simply
28 info:remove the line that disables it (mdns off).
29 ...END...
