Its ok but LP64. I have focused on 32-bit, because the hardware I use.

Its planned to be BSD. There are enough of gpl libc's. :)

Cloning it right now. In my researches I mostly used NetBSD sources. But
since the main purpose of my lib is Linux, have to keep an eye in glibc.
That the reason why I cant public it now - some code(mostly headers and
some code) is token from gnu libs. Hope bionic will help.
