And of course, a much simpler approach would simply be, to figure out
which source files from libc are required and list them explicitly in
the SRCS variable.  You just add the appropriate lib/libc subdirectories
to your .PATH, then.  The gnu/usr.bin/ld/rtld/Makefile already does
this for vfprintf.c, oddly enough.

Even I could do that one, but it's a considerable nuisance tracking
down the required files.
