Can someone switch glibc for picolibc on Linux systems? This may be useful for embedded Linux systems

Can you think of a case where you can run the Linux kernel but can't use one of the other embedded libc implementations? I mean musl, uClibc, or any other. I think this is more intended to bare metal, but maybe I'm wrong.

Hmm... Picolibc doesn't support Pico yet.

Are you sure about that? The Pico is an ARM Cortex-M0+ and Picolibc supports ARM processors.

Nope, I'm not sure. But why you would mention "Cortex-M0+" if it simply supports all ARM CPUs?

I think the better question is: Are you seriously interested in the answer or was it just a lame joke?

[kneekoo]

Not a joke. It seemed like redundant information if all ARM CPUs are supported.
