Ahh I see why that isn't a good idea either :-)

It would be handy if the libc people would see about innovating in that area a little bit. Maybe 3rd party libraries work but why get so stuck on posix as someone else mentioned?

letting other libraries work out what the right solution is, and when a winner emerges, pull that into glibc... doesn't sound like too bad a strategy to be honest.
