8. If we would begin building completely separate objects for libc.so and 
libc.a (w/ -DSHARED and w/o), we could omit the hidden versions from 
libc.a (not needed there)

I am kindly asking those who do not like/object against these changes to 
come up with proposals of handling __REDIRECT w/ the current 
implementation. I do not have ideas how it can be acomplished and I won't 
touch any func/func64 pairs, because the internal functionality of libc 
will be a mess (if LFS is disabled there is no trouble, but else ...)

I also ask for support/ideas for cancelable syscalls (libc/libpthread 
interaction)

Thanks, Peter
