I don't like that they pulled the stat functions out into a seperate
static library. Alot of things nag about "_xstat" undefined if not linked
against libc_nonshared.a. Also the unix 98 pty support seems to be
lacking. openpty() is prototyped extern in <pty.h>, but never defined
elsewhere. They also change utmpx stuff so ssh-2.0.12 at least is broken.
So much for glibc2.0 being the last version without binary compatability.

Does anyone have devpts stuff working with glibc2.1? Do you have to link
in another library to define openpty()?
