> While the Linux syscalls themselves are very stable and reliable, the c library on top of them is not.

Maybe just don't use that library then? Or don't do that ridiculous thing where you fumble around at runtime desperately looking for executable pages that should just be included in your binary.




It's not "some c library on top of them", it's glibc. You can use another libc, but that means you're going to be incompatible with the distro expectations in terms of configuration, because that's handled by glibc, so you just push off the instability to a different part of your system.
