$faststdio does work with glibc 2.2.93 ( and probably with later versions too - there seem to be no relevant changes in the libio code between 2.2.93 - 2.3.1 ). In the glibc code there are even comments about tcl using directly the _IO_* fields ( libio/libio.h:268 ) I tested it ( by removing the faulty chunk from Configure ) with both perlio-enabled and stdio-only perls. What was the reason to reject $staststdio with all glibc's > 2.2.9 ?
