Please be aware that some pages need porting the other way.

Glibc doesn't document important things, like fcntl (F_SETSIG) that
*are* documented in the man pages. These things tend to be specific to
Linux. And Glibc doesn't have "CONFORMING TO" sections like the man
pages.

It would be a shame to lose valuable information.
