--- Comment #2 from David Binderman <dcb314 at hotmail dot com> --- Three years later, enhancement not implemented. See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23490 for an example where glibc would have benefited from this enhancement. If someone can give me a clue which source code file / function to look at, then I'd be happy to have a look myself.
