I don't think that would be wise. When using segment remapping and
malloc() replacement, libhugetlbfs needs to initialize really early.
The more libc functions we use, and the more complex they are, the
more complicated libc's internal state will become before libhugetlbfs
has finished initializing, and so, the greater chance we have of
something being in a funny state that we need special workarounds to
deal with.
So, I don't think pulling in all the stdio buffered file stuff is a
good idea.
