How is moving away from glibc going to help with (say) FreeBSD support? Based on (admittedly quite short) googling, I couldn't find any libc that supports both Linux and FreeBSD except... *drumroll*... glibc that is being used by Debian/kFreeBSD! And if you're going to be using different libcs on different kernels, well... nixpkgs already does that today, by supporting Darwin. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
