Not sure what you mean. GLibc IS the precedent. This function has only
been around since glibc 2.30 (well, it's been 3 years) and requires
_GNU_SOURCE. It's a relatively new function but without it, twalk() is
quite useless.
The background for this patch is: I have a low-level C library that I
maintain for which I try to limit external dependencies and I used
twalk_r() in the new version only to find out it doesn't build with
musl.
