Keep in mind that I am just a member of the great unwashed - using other
people's code and from time-to-time trying to make sense out of the
warnings and error messages that pop up. Whether a particular application
uses glibc or libc doesn't have any meaning to me.  Commenting out a line
or two - I have learned (painfully) that sometimes that can help.

My original post was an attempt to provide feedback to those who know more
about the cogs and wheels.

Thanks again for your responses.
