The LSB runtime certification FAQ has the "explanation", it's at:
    http://www.linuxbase.org/test/lsb-runtime-test-faq.html

Andrew Josey's chair of the Austin group so presumably he knows what
he's talking about when he says it's a "misinterpretation". (I'm not
sure if glibc agrees, or if I do, but it's what the LSB testsuite needs
and having them seems less likely to beak anything than not having them)

I haven't passed any of these on to upstream, but Thorsten Kukuk
probably has. 

Cheers,
