Like a second C library.. You kind of want there to be only one, but if you must have more, it is possible. The benefit of having only one is a smaller system and better interopability: Only one definition of FILE*, pthread_t, etc., all implemented by only one shared library each. The downside of having only one is you can't change the semantics without breaking things. And the current semantics where there are no kernel threads (right?), probably not ideal or desired for long. - Jay > Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2010 10:30:52 -0400 > Subject: Re: -static -lX11 breaks pthreads (4.6) > From: ted.unangst@ > To: jay.krell@ > CC: misc@ > ...
