As Peter said, "there are many, many packages that depend on the full functionality of glibc." Bionic works for Android since almost the whole platform is written from scratch and most of it runs in Dalvik VM anyway so isn't directly affected by the libc at all. Tizen uses existing software that expects glibc behaviour and interfaces so whatever benefit it might give is overshadowed by the effort needed to get the platform up and maintaining it. For a better replacement of vanilla glibc for mobile devices there is eglibc, but Tizen probably already is using it... -- Kalle Vahlman, Movial Creative Technologies Inc.
