I can't argue the rationale for any of the above except to
say that the goal is to import unmodified source from
third party sources. Newlib generally trusts that the
upstream sources are "reputable".

Agreed they need tests but that would be a NetBSD issue.

Also, although I don't know how to run them, doesn't someone
run glibc tests on newlib? They likely have tests for this for
newlib's purposes.

<hint>I would like to know how to run then</hint> :)

Aditya.. file a NetBSD ticket with the list of methods they
don't have any tests for. I may have to get a NetBSD account
so I can track the ticket.

FWIW Aditya is a Google Summer of Code student for RTEMS working
to improve POSIX compliance for newlib and by implication
RTEMS and Cygwin. Issues with upstream sources with the code
should be filed upstream.
