But that has to be GNU make? Or how would make know that this function is not 
available in libc? I think I don't understand what you mean.

Well, you mean "use this function, if not provided by another library"?
Of course, that's always possible - but then I'd have to use snapshots of the 
needed functions, which is almost as good as simply including them in my 
sources :-)
