Re: [Glibc-bsd-hackers] possible porting

[Metgod]

Hi,

I finally had a chance to look at the information for the glibc on freebsd.

I have three machines, two of which are running FreeBSD 4.8. However, and 
unfortunately,  the requirements are not exactly what I can do at this 
current time.

I would like to apologize for even sending my original request. I wish the 
project well and would love to see it even more developed one day. I will 
definitely keep this project in mind, but for now I fear I must use just libc.

Btw, if there is anything I can offer -- though I don't know what at this 
stage -- let me know and I'll see if I can help.

Best wishes,

Cody
