It sounds like you don't know what gnulib is (and are confusing it with glibc). Gnulib is a library of SOURCE code, which is designed to compile on ANY platform with a C89 or better compiler. It is not required to use gcc to do the compilation, nor to link with glibc. Gnulib is used in a large number of projects (some GNU, some not), and has been proven to be useful on systems that don't have any GNU software installed natively. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
