Its definitely simpler then changing libc, yes. So if its necessary, do die nicely instead of segfault, then I'm for a compile option, to be able to turn these tests off --cause-i-know-what-im-doing. > Methods also cause significant headaches, since there are *no* signatures > available to the calling code, as there's no way for it to look up the > signature.
