   An update that has four recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This update for the GNU Libc library resolves the following
   issues:

   * The system math library (GNU libm) accidentally
   missed two symbols, pow10 and pow10f (which are aliases for
   exp10 and exp10f) on x86_64. Hence, linking programs using
   those functions fails.
   * The function sin(), from the system math library (GNU
   libm), could return a domain error when the argument is a
   small number.
   * On x86, the function pthread_cond_timedwait
   interpreted the timeout parameter as relative time, whereas
   it is supposed to be an absolute time value.
   * In some situations the name resolver sent out AAAA
   (IPv6) queries even though the system doesn't have any IPv6
   interfaces.
