Good to hear that. I think it's a good direction for Haiku to use BSD
libc. I would suggest to go even further and use the clang and
http://libcxx.llvm.org/ instead of gcc4 and libstdc++. I've ported
Haiku to use clang. It builds and works, but still uses some
workarounds (especially for glibc parts in libroot.so).
