No.
Are you saying that I should push them through glibc first - and then submit
them to the kernel? Does the kernel lead or the C library? And, if the
latter, which C library? Can I not, for instance, push them through uclibc,
say?
Does submitting to glibc mean I have to sign my copyrights over to the FSF for
that code? I've never gone through this process.
