  1. Any takers?
  2. Fix regex so it isn't so stinking big
  3. Fix glob so it isn't so stinking big
  4. Integrate Jeff Garzik's key-value reading code for pwd/grp, /etc/hosts, etc
  5. Finish sparc port
  6. Documentation
  7. Better configuration system
  8. run 'nm -D --size-sort -t d libuClibc-0.9.5.so' and work on the biggest things
  9. (i.e. stuff at the end of the list) to make them smaller.
  10. make inb/outb work (for lilo et all)
  11. update: done for i386 and arm. lilo and the pcmcia tools compile cleanly now
  12. include/resolv.h does not define struct _res, and libc/inet/resolv.c
  13. does not use this struct. res_init does nothing. the other res_*
  14. functions are not implemented.
  15. scandir.c doesn't check returns on malloc and realloc.
  16. Add in shadow support (include/shadow.h and such)
  17. Right now, getopt has different behavior when dynamically vs when
  18. statically linked, violating the principle of least surprise.
  19. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  20. Manuel's unsorted todo:
  21. Move the target-specific sysconf.c generator to extra (as it needs to be
  22. run on the target) and fix libc/unistd/Makefile.
  23. Add a usage message to the gcc wrapper.
  24. Look at pre-cephes-addition floating point code and possibly rework.
  25. (primarily nan and infinity handling)
  26. Make scanf and strtod aware of nan and inf.
  27. Add overflow error-checking to fread and fwrite.
  28. Document uClibc-specific extensions I know of or have implemented.
  29. binary string conversion for printf
  30. malloc-less stdio
  31. optional printf unconfigured-for-type error messages
  32. Add binary string conversion to scanf to mirror printf?
  33. Teach scanf about (nil) for %p.
  34. What to do about %m in printf?
  35. Make errno and endptr handling the default in the strto* functions and
  36. document how to turn those off to save space.
  37. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  38. ds's list:
  39. Search for string literals that are not in the .rodata section. (Varies
  40. by architecture.)
  41. man pages for binaries
  42. add basename() and dirname() for gettext
  43. add obstack stuff for gettext (?)
  44. setjmp() on powerpc
  45. getaddrinfo()
  46. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  47. PORTING
  48. -------
  49. bits/dirent.h currently differs from the glibc version (d_type unsupported)
