      correct form so it would be possible to enlarge it always according
      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
