-Subject: [PATCH 21/27] eglibc: Install PIC archives
-
-Forward port from eglibc
-
-2008-02-07  Joseph Myers  <joseph@codesourcery.com>
-
-        * Makerules (install-extras, install-map): New variables.
-        (installed-libcs): Add libc_pic.a.
-        (install-lib): Include _pic.a files for versioned shared
-        libraries.
-        (install-map-nosubdir, install-extras-nosubdir): Add rules for
-        installing extra files.
-        (install-no-libc.a-nosubdir): Depend on install-map-nosubdir and
-        install-extras-nosubdir.
-
-2008-04-01  Maxim Kuvyrkov  <maxim@codesourcery.com>
-
-        * Makerules (install-lib): Don't install libpthread_pic.a.
-        (install-map): Don't install libpthread_pic.map.
