Think you could port BSD libc to Linux without making a mess? considering that we (netbsd) basically have a source-compat layer for netbsd software on linux, this actually is a whole lot simplier and easier than you may otherwise think. The BSD libc is smaller for about the same reason that dietlibc or uLibc on Linux are smaller. Those libc's don't attempt to be portable (across kernels), and they certainly don't attempt to comply with all the standards that glibc does.
you may be surprised at how portable & standards-encompasing the NetBSD libc & friends are. .mrg. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
