Editing Glibc (section)

===Supported hardware and kernels===
glibc is used in systems that run many different [[kernel (operating system)|kernels]] and different [[Computer hardware|hardware]] architectures. Its most common use is in systems using the [[Linux kernel]] on [[x86]] hardware, however, officially supported hardware<ref>{{cite web | url = https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/MAINTAINERS#Machine_maintainers | title = The GNU C Library machine maintainers. | access-date = 8 October 2015 | archive-date = 18 April 2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160418170046/https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/MAINTAINERS#Machine_maintainers | url-status = live }}</ref> includes: [[ARM architecture|ARM]], [[ARC (processor)|ARC]], [[C-SKY]], [[DEC Alpha]], [[IA-64]], [[Motorola 68000 series|Motorola m68k]], [[MicroBlaze]], [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]], [[Nios II]], [[PA-RISC]]<!--"hppa"-->, [[PowerPC]], [[RISC-V]], [[IBM System z|s390]], [[SPARC]], and [[x86]] (old versions support [[TILE64|TILE]]). It officially supports the [[GNU Hurd|Hurd]] and [[Linux kernel|Linux]] kernels. Additionally, there are heavily patched versions that run on the kernels of [[FreeBSD]] and [[NetBSD]] (from which [[Debian gnu/kfreebsd|Debian GNU/kFreeBSD]] and [[Debian GNU/NetBSD]] systems are built, respectively), as well as a forked-version of [[OpenSolaris]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~dtbartle/opensolaris/|title=GNU/kOpenSolaris (GNU libc/base + OpenSolaris kernel)|last1=Bartley|first1=David|last2=Spang|first2=Michael|access-date=2008-12-16|archive-date=6 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191106181358/http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~dtbartle/opensolaris/|url-status=dead}}</ref> It is also used (in an edited form) and named {{mono|libroot.so}} in [[BeOS]] and [[Haiku (operating system)|Haiku]].<ref>{{cite web
