libc6 is missing "swab"

[Adam Heath <adam.heath@usa.net>]

When trying to compile nfsroot for libc6, I got a implicit declaration of
swab(...).  I fixed it by copying the declaration out of unistd.h.  Then,
during linking, I got an undefined reference to swap(...).  I ran objdump on
libc.a, and found swap.o, but it only had a text section, and no code!  Strsep,
right above it, had text and code associated with it.

Needless to say, I did get nfsroot to compile.  I copied the function from
libc5 into nrprobenet.cc, and it compiles and runs fine.  But why doesn't libc6
contain this standard function?


I wish I had a life outside Quake.
