It means "The whole world is Linux, everything that is not linux is bad. We design our software so that it uses hidden features and bugs of glibc. If any other libc doesn't implement those bugs or unstandard features it's bad and needs to suffer." Noone has ever explained what the problem is. Just that somehow "BSD libc" is bad. //art
