Thank you! As someone who has only recently delved into the fascinating world of OSS, I am only now learning that there are many such differences e.g. between gnulib and glibc. Can you please suggest an appropriate newsgroup for such glibc-related posts? I couldn't find one on gmane after a bit of quick searching.
