I seriously doubt this will make porting any easier.  99% of the porting
issues you'll run into, are from

a.) lack of sys/types.h being included, or order of headers being included.
b.) dependencies on Linux-specific ioctls or syscalls, such as clone,
which are not really libc related.
c.) dependencies on bugs in glibc.

I doubt it.  The glibc has been designed with portability in mind (hell,
it's purported to run on Irix), FreeBSD's with security and speed.
