great fucking sign that the docs on how to port your large library project don't make any sense. i can't figure out how to actually add system-dependent file overrides. supposedly, you put a folder somewhere in `sysdeps/` and it Just Works but I have no idea how to declare "yes, this target is supported" and just having the folder and basic file structure where it says to put it is not fucking cutting it. https://web.archive.org/web/20160506165616/http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Porting.html#Porting

actually, there is significant work already done to port glibc to solaris 2.x in the unmodified source package, though that would mean a lot of large kernel changes over time, so this is a bit of a strange finding. this is just here, and it's not shown to be compatible in the readme, along with like five other unix flavors. am I missing a configure flag or something? this is incredibly strange.
