to the page size and install the correct length only for fclose() and
fflush() calls.

+[17] The sprof program to analyze the profiling data generated by ld.so
+ must be finished. It should have the same functionality as gprof
+ (as far as this is possible).
+
+[18] Based on the sprof program we need tools to analyze the output. The
+ result should be a link map which specifies in which order the .o
+ files are placed in the shared object. This should help to improve
+ code locality and result in a smaller foorprint (in code and data
+ memory) since less pages are only used in small parts.

+[19] A user-level STREAMS implementation should be available if the
+ kernel does not provide the support.

+[20] More conversion modules for iconv(3). Existing modules should be
+ extended to do things like transliteration if this is wanted.
+ For often used conversion a direct conversion function should be
+ available.

+[21] The nscd program and the stubs in the libc should be changed so
+ that each program uses only one socket connect. Take a look at
