In theory, it helps, in practice it doesn't. This should work with any
glibc-based build. However, at the moment there are only linux (with
other code path), kfreebsd (same) and hurd (addressed by this patch)
systems using glibc. I heard some people were trying to build a debian
GNU/Minix, but I don't think they have gone very far yet.

OK, will do this.
