Who controls glibc?

Who controls glibc?

My very very boring solution to this problem is to ensure that each site where you would emit an error has very minor variations in expression. Usually I try to make this be further information: "wrong endianness encountered in xxx" Here xxx sometimes isn't very user-digestible, but I try to make the first portion of the error as explicitly informative as possible and potentially put the xxx in parenthesis or similar. However, I have been known to use trivially different wording when the xxx approach isn't available.

As a a user, I'd prefer xxx to be some punchy vulgarity, but I think I'm in the minority.

Or make __FILE__ and __LINE__ be part of your log ...

In commercial environments, there's often pressure not to show these "internal details" to users.
