Hi there,
I came across your projects to build Darwin-based GNU systems, and found them quite interesting.
Just as a suggestion to help you, I'd like to point out that Glibc is ported (or being ported) to Darwin. For details on the port status, refer to http://sourceforge.net/projects/glibc-darwin/
Ah yes.... 0% ? :-) The project was created in 2001-10-17 21:55 , hasn't made any file releases, nothing in their CVS, 0 project activity.Did *you* actually check the port status? :-9
Anyway, to cut this reply short, so far I haven't encountered a single case of a software which wasn' t portable to Darwin/OSX because it had "Glibc in mind" when being written. Maybe in a few cases, Glibc provided APIs which the Darwin libc (not yet) provided, but with 10.2 such cases are rare, and usually Glibc wouldn't be able to help it either, because if something isn't implemented in the Kernel/Drivers, then libc can only do so much to help that situation.
As such, personally I see no real advantage in porting Glibc, but maybe others will - this is just my two cents.
Cheers,
Max
