Well, disk space is also _really cheap_ and I suspect that long before
we get all such little extras added on (and libc_r is only one of many
potential candidates), folks like you will have bigger disks and render
the question mostly moot. :-)

However, this still doesn't mean that getting libc_r into the dist isn't
a good idea and I'll look into doing whatever needs done to make that
happen.
