TODO

• includepath: Guido Makefile doesn't detect a new gcc version. Fix: echo gcc version into stamp file and move-if-change.

• sunrpc/: Guido Install rpc database in /etc.

• Rewrite ctermid.c and cuserid.c.

• Missing reentrant functions (omitted for now because the corresponding source files should be re-written from the scratch, should be split up into distinct files for each function):

    int fgetgrent_r (FILE* stream, struct group* result_buf,
                     char* buffer, size_t buflen, struct group** result);
    int getgrgid_r (gid_t gid, struct group* result_buf,
                    char* buffer, size_t buflen, struct group** result);
    int getgrnam_r (const char* name, struct group* result_buf,
                    char* buffer, size_t buflen, struct group** result);
    int getlogin_r (you know what);

• Clean up all prototypes in the header files. It is a bad idea to prototype like that:

    int foobar (int max, int min);

Either do

    int foobar (int, int);

or

    int foobar (int __max, int __min);

Otherwise the argument identifiers run the risk of being expanded as eventually previously defined macros by the preprocessor.

• Get rid of include/support.h. Any ideas where to move the prototypes?

• Problems with -mshort: Some I/O operations (notably read, write, fread and fwrite) take size_t (i. e. unsigned long) arguments for the buffer size and return int (i. e. short int with -mshort) as the result (bytes read resp. written). There is no clean way to fix that. Currently, for -mshort those prototypes have simply been changed so that they return long. Any better ideas?

• exec* functions should be rewritten. What about spawn?

• Avoid conflicts between <mint/dcntl.h> and <sys/ioctl.h>.

• Rewrite nlist.c to handle all binary formats.

• Implement i18n/l10n stuff from GNU libc.

• A lot of sysconf stuff still missing.
