Hmm. Might as well add to the control file. It looks like freebsd-i386
will probably go with glibc. Do that whenever it's convenient. My
testing is probably of limited help to the rest of Debian, since the
FreeBSD port of glibc is new, and not really finished.
Hopefully at some point I'll finish untangling /usr/include enough to be
able to create some patches for glibc. I need to be able to build some
of the BSD sources for /sbin and /usr/sbin, and at present there are a
lot of things in the BSD includes that break with glibc.
