I think doing this is a lot of work (because assumptions about all
features being available are implicitly spread across lots of library
code), so it is unrealistic to expect that kind of effort from a
project that couldn't even gather enough resources for a new libc
release in 10 years.

I'm sure patches to do this will be welcome (although personally, I
doubt that the gains will justify the effort).
