The glibc library doesnt currently meet the requirements of the LSB anyway,
it contains code designed to give cygnus a compiler monopoly. In fact someone
should probably ask RMS to either get this fixed or remove the gnu name
from the product.

Also another horror pending is that cygnus are going to break the c++
interfaces (again) in egcs 2.95->gcc 3.0 in order to sort all the standards
compliance and stuff out (RTH assures me it really really has to be done
but it'll stil be a pain)
