	* manual/install.texi: Recommend to set LANGUAGE=C LC_ALL-C during
	"make install", to work around a binary incompatibility between
	glibc 2.1 and glibc 2.2 gconv modules.

  To install the library and its header files, and the Info files of the

  before installing them.  However, you should still compile everything first.
  If you are installing glibc as your primary C library, we recommend that you
  shut the system down to single-user mode first, and reboot afterward.
