Not directed at you in particular, and I understand that.

I broke it down into 10 patches, taking roughly the same approach.

See patches 1-4.  These are the missing syscalls.

According to what orc was saying, patch 1 was what he needed for Xorg.
Gregor also said he could use it.

orc would know better than I, but it *seemed* that he was saying that
everything in his patch fell in 1 or 2 ...

OK, thanks.

See patches 5-10 (except the finite() patch)
I figured that any *isoc99* or __*_internal aliases were for ABI only and
left them as orc had it.
Everything in src/locale/ I assumed (!) was not ISO C99, and did them "in
the opposite direction".
