Adding unnecessary bloat to : our libc isn't necessary, in my opinion. The problem with this is that it becomes harder to build on FreeBSD because you have to add additional, non-standard libraries to the build process. This is the fault of the author of the tool, since they used non-standard interfaces, so maybe it wouldn't be too bad. The risk we run in not supporting them in libc is the perception that FreeBSD isn't compatible (never mind what the sstandards say). We have similar issues with the long getopt stuff.
