Glibc is half of GNU/Linux. You can of course use another libc, but it will be a different OS.

- liqilin1567 1y agoYeah, even library loading relies on glibc, so we can't really escape glibc on GNU/Linux.
- vbezhenar 1y agoI wonder if anyone implemented loading shared libraries without glibc? It shouldn't be that hard, just need to implement ELF parser and glibc-compatible relocation mechanism.
- 1718627440 1y agoI don't think nobody has done, that. It is just that vendoring your own OS comes with a lot of work.
- 1718627440 1y agoI don't really know why people expect to be able to bypass the OS and not have problems. It seems to come from people who think a "Linux OS" only consists of the Linux kernel.
