Re: three for newlib

Hi Jim,
  At first I was, well they won't work and for oldlib it probably would be
too difficult. With newlib I've think we have a chance to get some of these
working.
It puts the library into an interesting state too. I'm not sure I have gone
through all the options/fields but any PID field that needs a system field
(e.g. system boot time) may give strange results.
pgrep --older behaviour is an example of this, I think it silently makes
the start time of the process 0 + seconds_since_boot so its always "new".
