We already did this.  A distro that doesn't pull in the right libc inc 
file is either broken or on its own (I forget and can't check atm if 
Angstrom uses the files eventually or just also has the libc-foo 
OVERRIDES, but is correct here).  We also have LIBC as a global env way 
to say what LIBC to use (Angstrom has ANGSTROMLIBC and LIBC since they 
originated the feature).
