The past few weeks I've had a good bit less contiguous time to devote to it. One thing that would help me make better use of my time is if I had a good list of the remaining areas of functionality that musl is missing, so I could use smaller blocks of time to write code that's simple and largely independent of everything else. Would anyone be willing to go through a list of symbols from musl, comparing it to the list of functions in the POSIX standard (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/contents.html) and break it down into a list of functions and some categories of functionality? For the most part anything in non-essential option groups could be omitted or put in a separate list to address later. Rich
