We use a shim library that re-exports symbols from the standard library in order to make them accessible through `dlsym`, since on e.g. Linux the standard library .so files might actually be linker scripts which we don't want to mess with. On Windows we use ucrtbase.dll + an auxiliary library that contains the expansions of several 'inline' functions such as `printf`. I'm not surprised to see that another platform like AIX requires more to make this work as well. That said, I think we should limit the exported symbols to only those found in the standard C library header files: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/header ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/16414#issuecomment-1803944836
