Hi all,
Here are a few wishlist items that are probably a lot more fun than
the priority ones for the next couple releases. They're low-priority
because they're not affecting robustness or compatibility, mostly just
performance and convenience. I'm just putting them down as a list here
for the record and in case anybody wants to start a discussion off of
them or propose other enhancements in the same category.
- Reworking iconv (again), this time to use an internal temporary
buffer for processing whole runs rather than character at a time.
- Private-futex support in all synchronization primitives and internal
locking.
- Various malloc enhancement ideas for reducing fragmentation and/or
increasing performance.
- Converting regex engine to work on bytes instead of decoding each
character to wchar_t.
- Fixing vdso support.
- Support for building libc itself with stack protector.
- Resorting data/bss objects to drop the number of essential dirty
pages for libc.so to a minimum.

Would it still be able to handle UTF8?

Of course. This is non-negotiable.
