No, libc, libm, libthr are from the FreeBSD source tree, they are not related to glibc in any way, except of aiming to implement the same base set of APIs. > Where can I find sources of libthr.so?

This is too broad question, I assumed you have at least the starting acquaintance with FreeBSD project before posting to @freebsd.org address. Please look at the http://www.freebsd.org, "Get FreeBSD" on how to get a released binaries, and "Developers->SVN Repository" for the source access. >=20 > libz.so is already added at > http://linuxtesting.org/upstream-tracker/versions/zlib.html We would be interested in tracking the libz, libgcc and libstdc++ as imported into the FreeBSD source tree, due to both new vendor source imports and local modifications. >=20 > > The ABI definition for the base system is currently under discussion, > > we may provide more authoritative list for the libraries that would > > be useful to monitor. > > =20 >=20 > You are welcome.
