Upstream systemd is still prone to use any glibc-only api they find |
| 13 |
interesting and any gcc-only feature they deem useful (as seen in a |
| 14 |
recent discussion on the musl ml this month). |

OpenEmbedded shares, hopefully, all our requirements regarding libc and |
| 17 |
compiler so it is good to work with them, assuming maintaining the |
| 18 |
patchset on top of udev is simpler than adding the udev changes on top |
| 19 |
of eudev. |

In both cases it is lots of work and I'm grateful to the people that are |
| 22 |
willing to put effort in supporting standard libcs and alternative C |
| 23 |
compilers :) |
