The question is not whether they are semantically identical, but whether moving to the gnulib version avoids regressions. That is, for functions such as fnmatch based on the same underlying code: (a) make sure that the gnulib code is based on at least as recent a version of the underlying code as the libiberty version, and (b) make sure that libiberty doesn't have any local portability / functionality fixes missing from the gnulib version. (In practice I think such regressions from the gnulib move are very unlikely.) -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
