The root cause is alternative libc implementations. Are BSD syscalls considered stable? I remember Go moving to use libc on OpenBSD. Solaris also has the libc as the stable interface. Linux kernel is an outlier here guaranteeing stable syscalls but you wanting to use another libc is not Glibc's problem.
replyYeah it's not Linux specific but rather true for most Unix systems that libc == base system interface library.
replyExcept the other UNIX systems, starting with the original one, evolved from only having static linking to various ways to connect libraries and applications.
