That sounds like it would be overkill for most embedded DISTROs.  Making
a separate package to ship those bits seems like it would be a fine
idea, but I am not convinced we want them as standard fitment in libc6
itself.  Do you know of any existing package/DISTRO combinations in oe
that would actually benefit from this feature?
