Could not have said it better myself. If you have the emulation then you 
can always use a noLLSC version of glibc if you are performance-driven. 
Otherwise you can _also_ use the generic LLSC version. The overhead of 
having a few hundreds of words of code is pretty small (compared with 
70+k of filenames via the BUG() macro) and ensures that either glibc 
will work. It's the best of both worlds.
