Hello guys; I've been following your project for a while (although I've not been very constant). I am not a FreeBSD committer or anything like that but I do think there are excellent benefits for both camps in what you are doing: in particular it can only be good for FreeBSD to be able to build and use other libc's out of the box.
I found this (almost certainly outdated) posting on glibc's list: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2002-10/msg00326.html I just checked in my BSD sources and I found that at least 5 of the mentioned functions should be elsewhere according to POSIX. I filed PR standards/123688 so that at least there is some record that those functions should be moved in those headers. I would like to encourage you guys to submit a follow up (patches welcome) to address the POSIX compatibility issues that might be a problem for building glibc. Also please note, glibc has some non-standard behaviour that won't be accepted upstream, especially if they collide with BSD legacy code. I think we could have something in the base like ifdef GLIBC_SOURCES but that could be done later. best regards, Pedro. ___________________________________ Scopri il Blog di Yahoo!
