Ooops. Forgot the discuss-gnustep breaks the reply button.
Begin forwarded message:
Foundation provides an abstraction over the underlying platform. If
you wanted to remove the dependency on libc (which is the standard
way of providing this in C), what would you replace it with?
Also, be aware that even if you did remove libc dependencies (and
since libc handles system calls, you would either add a kernel
dependency or have to implement your own kernel) then you will still
likely have the libc dependency dependency pulled in from all
Objective-C programs; Objective-C is a pure superset of C, and
pretty much all nontrivial C programs require libc.
Perhaps you could explain the problem you are trying to solve that
you think removing the libc dependency would help with?

How hard is it to remove libc dependencies from foundation?
