The relevant question (long-term) is not whether they exist now in gnulib, but whether equivalent functionality exists in or would be appropriate to add to gnulib. If gnulib has something equivalent with a different interface, migrating to that interface might be appropriate. And if it has nothing equivalent, adding the libiberty code to gnulib might be appropriate. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
