Hi Craig,

In an effort to keep the newlib project moving (ever so slowly), attached is a tarball of 7 patches for that branch only.

The first 4 patches (0001-0004) represent changes I'd like to see pushed, regardless of what you decide to do with the final three patches.

Those last 3 patches (0005-0007) deal with consolidating 4 'miscellaneous' header files into a single new 'misc.h' guy. Since they're documented in a single man page, that feels more natural and should help future users. But if you feel they go too far, and decide not to push them, I'd understand.

If patches 0005-0007 are not pushed, then the #include subdirectory references in the current procps_misc.3 must be corrected. And we probably should lose that BUGS section.

We still need to update the source file copyrights and decide on the name for 'libproc-2'. Maybe that should be added to:

Regards,

Jim
