the farther the target is from GNU, the more gnulib will re-implement.
you should probably ask the gnulib list for details, but I suspect that
windows is the prime example.

at any rate, RAM is relatively cheap these days, so I don't think this
is such a big deal now.

this is probably less of a problem than you think, but it is not in
scope.

the problem is that things like rawsock do not run on windows.

this is related to the above issue - they had to make it shared because
it rivals glibc in size :-(
