Think about it. *Who* in his sane mind would become the glibc maintainer ? Even if Ulrich Drepper still had a functional brain at the time, years of dealing with glibc aren't a healthy thing. I can't really blame him. But it's okay. If glibc drops supporting static linking, it's going to become a niche libc. Things will break. And uClibc will fill the gap. Good news all in all. I'm *much* more concerned about gcc, because if the gcc people go insane - I mean, even more insane - there's still no serious alternative to gcc and the free software world will be in trouble. -- Laurent _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
