Admitedly, at first, it's difficult to grab the attention of the FreeBSD developers. They won't come looking for you :(. Do you have Problem Reports (send-pr) for those issues? You must submit Problem Reports and ideally you should also be subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . >From my experience with FreeBSD, I agree with Perry: there is no chance FreeBSD will ever adopt glibc as it's standard. From the outdated glibc documentation at the FSF site, it would seem like glibc was made to be a secondary libc though. The KSE work on FreeBSD is also very impressive and although some concepts are shared with NetBSD's SA, the implementations are completely different. We currently have 3 libraries but we'll slowly deprecate two of them, I think we already support ELF's RTL, the experts live in the freebsd-threads lists though. cheers, Pedro.
