Has anybody done a port of glibc to FreeBSD? (I'm not interested in
opinions about how poor it is or how evil the FSF are; I'm only asking to
avoid duplicate work. Thanks.)

I need a libc 100% compatible with glibc to make porting (from Linux)
easier. And, as a side note, I think both FreeBSD and Linu

You think so? I experience a lot of this when I try to recompile stuff for

What bugs have you found

I know it isn't standard. But it works well, and is used by a lot of
programs. Perhaps it should have been put in another library than libc,
though. Actually, I'd bette

Nothing. But I don't think they're as bad as you say, especially when
you're new to a program and don't know the short options ye
