Hello Jim,
yes, I like the idea of throwing it all away, but I need to keep in mind
the backward support across the distros and all users with their scripts
depending on it.
If you agree, I would make it like you propose in newlib, where other
major changes happen. Let's get rid of this in future.

I created new merge request with new ps option which I believe is
needed. Can you please take a look at it?

If you agree, I will hand over the newlib patch after monday (if needed).
Note: Using new external symbol is a way to not change API, which is
IMHO preferable in this case.
Hi Jan,
Must everything be over-engineered?
Why not go with a simple approach like the following?
