So fix it.

If you can't fix it, wait for it to be fixed.
If you can't wait for it to be fixed either change to a different
vendor implementation or shut down.

While these choice might be inconvenient, they are all you have.

If you want to whinge about lack of support/features, buy support
or buy a commercial OS (which almost certainly guarantees slower
response time, but, at least someone there will listen to you
whinge.)

God knows there's half a dozen things been on my todo list for years
that have been interfered with by Real Life.

And BTW C doesn't kill people, C Programmers kill people.
