11 Even without this issues there remains the fact that glibc is quite
12 closely coupled to gcc's support libraries (e.g.
13 $ grep "dlopen.*gcc_" **/*.c, or pthread's usage of support
14 libraries...). And this is something that won't change anytime
15 soon. After all, glibc is part of the GNU eco system and as such it is
16 perfectly valid to depend on respective compiler.
