Code that isn't LGPL would be ok. A lot of the code expects
to be able to run on top of syscalls that aren't part of the base
newlib layer. Either a new directory could be added or else the libc/unix directory
could be used. All of the current configurations that use libc/unix would have such
functionality.

Hi,
I was looking for an implementation of realpath()
and tripped across libc/sys/linux which appears to have
a fair amount of functionality whose implementation is
not Linux specific. Is there anyway that some of
this could be moved up a level in the tree? Something
like libc/XXX which could be enabled on a per target basis
linx unix_dir and a handful of others are now?
I know I wouldn't mind sharing a lot of this on RTEMS and
we would certainly turn it on.
