Indeedly I'm an end-user who is enthusiastic in building new LIBC.
It's kindly easy to build and test grace of ./configuration file and
error-free (in compile-time). If I should resolve header conflicts
(though I think I can do it), things are much more complex and I won't
have the will to try a new LIBC. Why? I don't gain any benefit from
new versions of it but I just wanna try it! If I bumped into some
bug, fortunately, I can report to the Team.
Hey, as far as I can tell, it is necessary for kernel developpers
(where library makers stand on) and LIBC developpers (by which kernel's
interface depends on) to collaborate and negotiate for some rules.
It will be tough if everyone goes doing anything else.
