If I may beg to differ, I see no reason that GNULIB can't be ahead of GLIBC. In particular for the benefit of programs that use it, like grep/sed/gawk.
If necessary, I can copy/paste the change from the bug report, but it'd be nicer if you'd just push it to GNULIB. Thanks, Arnold Paul Eggert <egg...@cs.ucla.edu> wrote: > Thanks for the bug report.
