I've been busy lately in Germany at SVNday, a Subversion conference. It was fun, but I've been too busy to see this. Coming back and checking the thread, allow me to start laughing *REALLY HARD* at this, since I've seen no other comments on it. The ability to lock your hardware with libc and glibc errors is only exceeded by the kernel itself, and maintaining compilers to take advantage of new libc features is...... well, it's a lot of work too. And keeping it compatible with the various other GPL or open source tools that are commonly used in the real world? Really, really good luck with those!!!! If they succed, I'm going to be very, very surprised.
