No.  We should be free to extend it in backward compatible ways.

I think this debate is pointless, since neither of us are going
to change our minds.  I think the gcc support routines should be
in its own library and you think they should be incorporated into
glibc.  I think that we should treat all systems the same for
uniformity and you think Linux should be special cased.
