Re: [PATCH] libgloss/arm: Add linux syscall interface.
I'm a particular fan of the manner in which arm-elf separates libc
from libgloss. It makes perfect sense to me. I like being able to
choose at link time whether I'm linking against RDP, Linux, or NOSYS,
and I use all three regularly.
It's also a matter of familiarity, as I'm more accustomed to arm-elf
than *-linux-newlib. This is by no means a good technical reason, just
a matter of fact.
Cheers!

I have a question. Why didn't you add a machine/arm subdirectory to
libc/sys/linux? This gives you full functionality for relatively
low-effort and maximizes code sharing among the various platforms. It
doesn't make sense to write all that code from scratch again or copy it
into two different places.
