it is not a reasonable request to add workarounds to common uClibc code in 
order to workaround bugs in other projects and specific arches.  you haven't 
shown that this is a bug in uClibc, so until you do, it makes no sense to 
change the code.

we don't go blindly throwing changes in the source tree until things "seem to 
work".  you find the *real* problem, figure out *why*, and then post fixes to the 
*correct* places.  anything else is an unmaintainable pile of crap.

so as soon as you come up with real information that says that there is an 
actual bug in uClibc, you're wasting everyone's time.
