Since Portable.NET is part of the GNU Project, "glibc" is more in line 
politically with where we need to be.  Eventually I'd like pnetC to fold back 
into "glibc" so that it isn't necessary to maintain two separate GNU C 
libraries.  It will be easier to do that if we start from the same base.

So, yes, it's annoying to port.  But better for the project in the long term.  
It will also help us track down bugs in cscc's C compiler more quickly, since 
"glibc" puts more demands on the compiler than "uClibc" does.

Cheers,

Rhys.
