It's a solution for me, but from tthe philosophical point of view, there 
is probably the greater issue of the distribution to consider. Is 
dietlibc really that useful on a non-embedded distribution (yes, I know 
I'm referring to the ARM port of something as non-embedded)? What really 
concerns me is that it doesn't build on x86 either, at which point I 
can't but question what the point of having it in the current state is 
at all.
