> libc6 - GNU C Library: Shared libraries and timezone data * Unless I missed it, nobody else has mentioned the fact that making a bsd box work with a gnu libc is a non-trivial problem. Certain utilities which need to come from bsd (ps, netstat, etc) would almost certainly require the bsd libc to work.
Having both libcs coexisting would also be problematic. I'm not sure what the right solution would be. I suppose one could have do it the way solaris does (/usr/ucbinclude, /usr/ucblib, etc). Bit icky. It seems to me that this is one of the most fundamental issues that will need to be resolved. --Josh
