Check to see if someone else did it.  I know it works on Gentoo, for a
few months now; but I don't know if it's just a newer version of glibc
or if there was also a backport for some of the older versions.  I'm
using 2.3.4 pre-relases of glibc, so obviously I'm on a fixed version,
not an old one with a backported patch.

Never do work you don't have to do; gpl code can be freely yanked back
and forth.  :)
