I don't know for sure about it. It may be an acceptable solution
for systems other than Linux. For Linux, it may be a mess and
is worse than the current scheme. It doesn't buy much on Linux.
When RedHat/Debian/SuSE/.... upgrade to glibc 2.1 from glibc 2.0,
they will run into trouble as I have.
My patch is not very big if you take a close look. It may appear
large. It has a new file in it. If your main concern is potential
bugs, I believe if it is in egcs 1.1 today, it will be much better
than anything else when egcs 1.1 is released. Of course, the more
you delay it, the less likely that it will be tested by many people.
