Hi Jakub,

They are not rejected.  You did submit 114 patches to look at to be fair and a number of
them require loading.  I am just looking at it today.

Licensing as LGPL is not an issue if you are building a shared library form of the library.
Otherwise, any statically linked application using your library must be licensed LGPL.  In the case of x86-linux,
the files were taken directly from glibc at the time and we do build a shared library.  

If your code has been copied/taken from LGPL sources, then you can't relicense, but if you are the original
owner, you should relicense with a more-relaxed license as I notice your code does not enable
shared library support in configure.host
