I seriously doubt this will make porting any easier. 99% of the porting issues you'll run into, are from a.) lack of sys/types.h being included, or order of headers being included. b.) dependencies on Linux-specific ioctls or syscalls, such as clone, which are not really libc related. c.) dependencies on bugs in glibc. > Perhaps porting BSD libc to Linux would be easier? I doubt it. The glibc has been designed with portability in mind (hell, it's purported to run on Irix), FreeBSD's with security and speed. - alex What I am is what I am, What you are is what you are - Edie Brickell (ain't she profound?)
