    Are the porters whore are moving code from Sun or BSD to Linux really
    in desperate need for help from glibc?

SunOS and BSD are operating systems, but Linux is just a kernel.
These people are porting to the GNU/Linux operating system,
in which the kernel is Linux and the C library is Glibc.

If you call the whole system "Linux", you give other people a mistaken
picture of the system's name and origin.  They will think its
development was started in 1991 by Linux Torvalds.  (Actually, most of
the system was already developed when he began writing Linux.)  By
calling the system "GNU/Linux" you can correct this confusion.
