Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2014-11285

Name        : glibc
Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 2.20
Release     : 3.fc21
URL         : http://www.gnu.org/software/glibc/
Summary     : The GNU libc libraries
Description :
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
Linux system will not function.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

glibc-debuginfo and glibc-debuginfo-common incorrectly owned the common debuginfo directories, i.e. /usr/src/debug, /usr/lib/debug and some directories inside /usr/lib/debug.  This update removes ownership of those directories.
Fix cdefs.h so that __extern_always_inline is usable on llvm.  This fixes the FTBFS issue for llvm.
