Well, I since then discovered that part of the X11 static libs also 
request theses functions so my patch will not be sufficient. I choose 
another option : I used part of dietlibc.a to make a libMini.a that 
implement those functions and a couple more needed by X11.

Sure but problem is that I do not want to recompile a whole X11 now that 
I knox it is used too...

Thanks for responding,
