A coworker spent a day or so trying to get this working and ran
into a lot of difficulties.  Bionic is missing a lot of things
that just aren't needed by Android, and busybox makes a lot of
assumptions about the C library.  It'd be nice to have, but I
think it would be a good amount of work.  For now, we're just
living with a static glibc version.
