Me. On the Alpha, that is. It uses libc6 as its primary libc, and
the Alpha patches are 30% 64-bit changes and 70% libc6 changes. For
the i386 it would easiest to work from that.
I'll finally have some time to work on this again, I'm just waiting
for Richard H. to release the Alpha patches to the latest snapshot.

Not that I know of. It does add a new file: /etc/service.switch, but
that's about all. And it has reasonable defaults if that file is missing.
