Since glibc is LGPL while libgfortran is GPL+exception, if you conclude 
copying glibc's code is a good idea then you'll need to work with the FSF 
on licensing at an early stage.  (And make sure of course to use the most 
recent version of the glibc code; many bugs have been fixed over the past 
two and a bit years.)
