As you have said, it is a very busy group. Those who can answer
your problem may have missed your post and they may not have the time
to answer your question very quickly. They may have statrted to
work on your problem but haven't found an answer yet.

I suggest you read FAQ and Meta Info first. I welcome any question
about the Linux C library. But you should get a copy of libc FAQ
from tsx-11 under pub/lnux/GCC first. For gcc, please read comp.gcc.*
and comp.g++.*. I can try to answer gcc questions if you cannot get
the correct answer from comp.gcc.* and comp.g++.*.
