Well, a function that returns load averages, swap space info, and info about processes? That looks like a function specialized for tools like 'ps' and 'top'. Unless the coreutils developers say that they need it, I would classify this as low priority. Even if glibc implements this function (without documenting it). This may sound a bit negative. But your plans to create a robust fchdir() / save_cwd are IMO more important than sysinfo().
