glibc (2.0.x)
=============

The simplest way to hack glibc is to create a file configparms
including:

	prefix = /trashcan/place
	CC := ncc -ncgcc -ncoo -ncspp
	default_flags :=

and then ./configure

PROBLEMS
--------

glibc very often uses a macro weak_alias.

	weak_alias (__strdup, strdup)

is expanded to:

     extern __typeof__(__strdup) strdup __attribute__((weak));

Now, that is strange in many aspects.
The __attribute__ keyword disappears from the nognu macros and
eventually ncc sees:

	extern __typeof__(__strdup) strdup;

__strdup is a function, and K&R sais that type "function"
is converted to "pointer to function" in certain cases in expressions,
and typeof gives the type of an expression.

So we have a problem here.

This is how I did it:

	- edit libc-symbols.c
	- add the following lines at the end:

#ifdef __NCC__
#undef weak_alias
#define weak_alias(x,y)
#endif

	or using ncc keys to show that strdup actually calls __strdup:

#ifdef __NCC__
#undef weak_alias
#define weak_alias(x,y) \
	char x##y##_weakalias [] = \
	"ncc-key
D: "#y"()
F: "#x"()
";
#endif

	- the same thing probably for strong_alias and similar macros
