Port glibc to FreeBSD

[Mark Schneckloth]

We are evaluating the use of glibc to get some native Unicode support (like 
wstrcmp() et.al.) under FreeBSD 3.4 and FreeBSD 4.2.  I might be interested 
in working on the port of glibc to FreeBSD, but I'd like to have an 
estimate of the time required before I commit to anything.

I've worked on code for debuggers, compilers, and linkers in the past 20 
years, both in C and in assembly (x86).  I would certainly not consider 
myself an expert in *all* of these areas, but I'm reasonably 
knowledgeable.  About how many hours/days/weeks of effort is involved in a 
port to an x86 system?

Thanks.
