Well, I think of it as a large number of bugs that some symbol X is 
missing test coverage.  In general, each of those bugs can be addressed 
independently by adding a test or tests of an untested interface.  See 
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-07/msg00386.html> for some 
scripts I used to produce a list of untested symbols.  Ideally, everything 
in the API would indeed be tested and documented.
