If you're going at it I would really like to see the code separated into
as many files as can in fact be linked separately, so nothing unnecessary
is included in a static program. For libc we can use attribute_hidden for
private symbols and have them be as efficient as in-file statics for the DSO
(still need name space control for static linking).
