That's true.  Because libmudflap's target libc specificity, some ports
have proven to be a challenge, and this is why the top-level
"--disable-libmudflap" option was added a while ago.  (This option is
mentioned in the official merge plan, by the way.)  Assuming the
functionality remains of interest to the community, I hope people will
help finish porting libmudflap once the merge is done.
