glibc is usually considered way too bloated for use in embedded devices. I'm sure there are some uses in this space, but glibc is probably not a relevant player in this field. That being said, there are apparently supported glibc ports to Android, specifically for running mostly unported GNU/Linux applications on top of Android devices (applications which do not work with Android's native Bionic libc, which is not affected by this issue). _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
