the gnulib implementations of POSIX functions are pretty damn complete. for most of my uses though, they're *too* complete :).
for example, current gnulib will often enable printf functions on modern
systems (such as Linux w/glibc 2.9). this is because extended floating point
support breaks from time to time. in my case, my system C library has broken
handling of long doubles. however, i rarely use floating point code in
projects i work on, so the system C library could have completely hosed
support and i still wouldnt care. thus using the replacement versions really
only results in bloat.
is there a standard way for addressing this ? or should i cheat and set the
vars to yes before calling gl_{EARLY,INIT} ? if i add a line like this:
gl_cv_func_printf_infinite_long_double=yes
then the tests complete as i'd like ... the printf() implementation comes from
the system C library rather than gnulib.
