this is theorically the big benefit of glibc.. but it is certainly

NetBSD have a good Libc implementation, but it is not suckless.. I
would certainly
like to see something like a libc from scratch taking code from
bionic and netbsd
implementing the functions we need in order to run the software we use.
This code coverage can be easily done with some hooks in the PLT
table, so we
can reduce the number of C functions needed.
I would prefer to have a smart and small C library that follows
POSIX, but does not
implements it completely.
The kernel comunication must be done separatedly, so we can use this
on linux,
windows or plan9.
The kernel communication is always done separately. Even the BSD libcs
factor out kernel communication, and they're meant to run on only one
kernel.
I don't know about NetBSD, but most of FreeBSD and OpenBSD libcs are
actually very nice. Plan 9's libc is, of course, much nicer. APE has
one that's mostly nice too, for that matter.
P.S. Your mail formatting is very broken. Perhaps you're mixing manual
and automatic line breaking. I suppose that comes with using a
Mozilla email client.
Yeah, it is, but sending mails without line breaking or formatting is
even worst.
We should move this thread to Twitter.
