Well, just a suggestion, move out the thread from the kernel list,
it has something to do with kernel, but not so much to fill it :), I
posted the question about e2fsprogs and +2Gb partitions, and really the
thing has went a bit further, I mean you aren't Re: OFFTOPIC ....., I know
kernel list is so easy, but well, I'm getting many (*really* many)
messages a day, and although I do use glibc, and had terrible headaches
"pseudoporting" every application I use (that is *every* application :)
to glibc and remembered of Drepper's relatives many times ;) I think you
are getting angry, and that's no good to Linux, just my opinion, but I think
that if Ulrich wants his lib to became a standard quickly he should be
more flexible about standards (people don't like so radical changes), but
in the other hand, if we (the programmers) want our applications to have
a good future should make an effort and make them as portable as we can.

So calm down, and please move out the thread (there are glibc
specific list, aren't they? )

Thanks, and remember, for good or for bad, we are all in the same ship
