Re: [PATCH] Make getsockopt() a weak symbol


The reason is that there was, and is, no __getsockopt call from elsewhere
in libc.  Calls to getsockopt are kosher in parts of libc that are never
called by ISO C libc functions.  POSIX code cannot use the name getsockopt
for its own purposes anyway.

What problem do you think you are solving here?


Thanks,
Roland
