Well, a function that returns load averages, swap space info, and info about
processes? That looks like a function specialized for tools like 'ps' and
'top'. Unless the coreutils developers say that they need it, I would
classify this as low priority. Even if glibc implements this function
(without documenting it).

This may sound a bit negative. But your plans to create a robust fchdir() /
save_cwd are IMO more important than sysinfo().
