-TODO list for every uClibc release:
--------------------------------------------------
-    *) Test cris, i386, mips, mipsel, sh, x86_64, arm, armeb, and powerpc
-	with the latest LTP testsuite.  Fix any regressions and post LTP
-	testsuite results for each architecture on uclibc.org.
-    *) Audit header files.  Remove prototypes for all functions that
-	are not supported -- especially needed for the libm headers.
-    *) Audit header files.  When options are disabled, also disable
-	them in the include files as well by checking for the proper
-	define from include/bits/uClibc_config.h (pulled in from features.h)
-
-TODO list for the uClibc 1.0.0 release:
--------------------------------------------------
-    *) NPTL
-       support arches: (o todo; + done)
-	o alpha
-	+ arm
-	o avr32

-    *) Go through SUSv4
-       TOC: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/contents.html
-       shell (busybox): http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/V4_xcu_chap01.html#tag_22_01_01
-       interface:

-         http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/V4_xsh_chap01.html#tag_23_01_01
-    *) glob / fnmatch tests fail
-    *) regex should pass AT&T conformance tests
-    *) Finish hiding uClibc internal symbols from our exported namespace
-    *) Add system for generating minimal system call asm wrappers that abuse
-	the C ABI to minimize amount of register/stack manipulation
-    *) Explicity add some sortof CONFIG_LINUX_2_2_ABI, CONFIG_LINUX_2_4_ABI
-	and CONFIG_LINUX_2_6_ABI type options, rather than having the abi
-	depend on the selected set of kernel headers.  This will likely also
-	require that we provide a set of kernel headers (probably a derivitive
-	of Mazur's linux-libc-headers) that can supplies the 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6
-	kernel abi.
-    *) Documentation updates:
-	    *) Write a uClibc HOWTO document
-	    *) Update README document
-	    *) Update INSTALL document
-	    *) Update docs/Glibc_vs_uClibc_Differences.txt document
-		and fully document all differences between the feature
-		set of uClibc and glibc.
-	    *) Update docs/uClibc_vs_SuSv3.txt document
-	    *) Update docs/threads.txt document
-	    *) Write man pages for ldd and ldconfig utility binaries
-    *) Implement some mechanism (perhaps encoded in the .so name,
-	perhaps using an abi tag magically embedded into each object)
-	for flagging config options that break the ABI.  Options
-	such as UCLIBC_HAS_SOFT_FLOAT, UCLIBC_HAS_THREADS, UCLIBC_HAS_LOCALE,
-	and perhaps others (finalize list) produce a lib with a differing
-	ABI.  Make it so apps cannot use an ABI mis-matched uClibc.
-	This is most easily done using symbol versioning...
-    *) Implement the long double versions of math funcs on interrested
-        arches using wrappers on top of the double versions (size / precision
-	trade off where size clearly wins).
-    *) Make all small objects (>~50 bytes) into either inlines or
-	into a static library
-    *) Cleanup / rewrite sysconf.c.  It should get some information
-	from ldso (such as HZ).  Other stuff it currently just makes
-	up, which is obviously wrong.  Also bits/uClibc_clk_tck.h
-	needs to be updated at the same time to get proper HZ values.
-    *) poll emulation using select() for old 2.0.x uClinux kernels
-	in libc/sysdeps/linux/common/poll.c fails some python self-tests.
-	Of course, modern systems using the actuall poll() syscall work fine.
-    *) Cleanup/scrub all the Makefile copyright junk
-    *) Fix dlopen, for both static and dynamic cases, and make it
-	fully comply with SuSv3
-    *) check if sched_getcpu is only pulled in where it should be
-	*) remove HANDLE_OLDER_RLIMIT, NEW_GETRLIMIT (conditionalize on
-	ugetrlimit, it seems, else use the modern variant)
-	*) simplify exec*() in the light of execvpe (perhaps single internal
-	impl); USE_GNU for execvpe (and other GNU extensions, see psm).

-TODO list for AFTER the uClibc 1.0.0 release:
--------------------------------------------------
-    *) Add support for 64bit time (to deal withhttp://2038bug.com/):
-	date -s 011903142038 sets epoch to roll over in a few seconds (2^31)
-    *) Add support for Linux 2.6.x fast vsyscalls
-    *) Enable pristine source tree builds
-    *) Fix regex so it isn't so stinking big
-    *) Fix glob so it isn't so stinking big
-    *) run 'nm -D --size-sort -t d libuClibc-0.9.26.so' and work on the
-	biggest things (i.e. stuff at the end of the list) to make
-	them smaller.
-    *) Fix dlopen/dlsym/dlclose locking to more fine grained or use RCU
-    <more wishlist items here>

-
-Arch specific TODO:
--------------------------------------------------
-  alpha:
-    ldso is not implemented
-  arm:
-    update crt1 code again for nommu (http://bugs.uclibc.org/view.php?id=538)
-    recruit jbowler and integrate thumb support
-  frv:
-    needs to be updated for the new ldso changes and unification of the
-    uClibc_main funcs (__uClibc_start_main doesnt exist anymore)
-  hppa:
-    errno.c test segfaults causes segfault in clone.S (seems to be in glibc too)
-  i386:
-    add support for fast system calls
-  ia64:
-    ldso is not implemented
-  m68k:
-    ldso lazy relocation doesnt work
-  sh64:
-    ldso is reasonably broken, presently requiring additional
-    coaxing/threatening.
-  sparc:
-    need a sigaction.c since common one doesnt work (signal tests)
-    ldso needs to be updated since it's totally broken atm
-  vax:
-    pthread support, linktime warning support (implies GAS patches),
-    general touchups, testing, ldso.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Manuel's todo:
-
-  1) Little things that need fixing:
-  ----------------------------------
-  a) Fix bug in *printf: outdigit precison bug
-  b) Check that gnu/bsd extension members tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm
-     are respected where they should be.
-  c) Implement the obstack printf funcs for glibc compat.
-  d) Implement glibc 'a' flag for scanf string conversions.
-  e) Allow use of the older non-table-based ctype functions when using
-     stub locale support. (smaller)
-  f) __drand48_iterate should be void
-  g) alphasort vs. versionsort. The former seems to be SVID, the latter GNU
-     i.e. reverse to what we currently do. The latter is unimplemented.
-  h) ponder removal/configs to turn off: __xpg_*, bsd_signal, dysize,
-     getw/putw, utimes,
-
-  2) Additional str{f|p}time issues.
-  ----------------------------------
-  a) Spacing issue wrt strptime.
-  b) Support locale specific alternate digits.  (data is in place)
-  c) Support locale era in year designations.   (data is in place)
-  d) Deal with mb format string issues in strftime.
-  e) Implement wcsftime.
-
-  3) Other locale issues (my implementation):
-  -------------------------------------------
-  a) Do a little more clean up of ctype and wctype.
-  b) Rework of the locale data organization to make using locales reasonable
-     when staticly linking.  (mmap)
-  c) Rewrite the locale data generation tools to process the text specifications
-     rather than relying on glibc.
-  d) Adapt regex lib to use my collation data and add the necessary collating
-     item tables to support SUSv3 required features.
-  e) transliteration of unsupported wchars in 8-bit locales (like glibc).
-  f) Support ISO/IEC 14652 draft locale extensions (LC_PAPER, etc).
-  g) Implement strfrom.
-  h) Shift-state codeset locale support?
-
-  4) Misc:
-  --------
-  a) Port uClibc to other OSs (including elks), or even bare metal (libgloss).
-  b) Write a space-efficient gettext substitute, to avoid storing large amounts
-     of redundant data.
