And, since GCC is still a GNU project, mentioning the status of GNU libc
doesn't seem that arbitrary.
Can you propose a change along these lines? I think it does make
sense, both to be more clear on what may be a (non-)issue and to
refer to GNU libc as a reference implementation where that makes
sense.
