I guess I'm confused as to why you can't do what you need with
_XXX (internally used, non-cancellable function) and XXX (weak
reference to _XXX) within libc. libc_r would provide XXX that
did something along the lines of:
int
XXX(void)
{
enter_cancellation_point();
_XXX();
leave_cancellation_point();
return(0);
}
