Very nice christmas present :) That's a big step for the port.

I don't have the time to check that now (I have to prepare my luggage), 
but I have taken all the files on my laptop. I will try to make a patch 
for the Debian glibc 2.3.5 package using your files, so that people can 
easily test it. Also that is a first step to merge it in the official 
package. I will start to contact Goto for that. I have already talked 
with him at Debconf 5, and he basically agree to merge our patches. I 
was very enthusiastic about the GNU/kFreeBSD port, so that should not be 
a problem.

I think also that you could start to contact with upstream in order to 
merge all the glibc stuff in upstream. I suppose they don't want a big 
patch, so maybe it is a good idea to ask them how they want the patches.

Also note that I will be in holiday for a week (but I take my laptop 
with me), with a very bad internet connection (14,4k). I think I will be 
able to read a few selected mailing lists (including debian-bsd and 
glibc-bsd :), and to submit patches.

Bye,
Aurelien
