The libc documentation is in texinfo format, so it's trivial to
convert to ps or pdf if you have tex installed.  I'd be willing to do
it if anyone wants it.  (It should also be easy to convert to html
with texi2html but I've never tried it.)

The hardest part would be getting the texinfo files, because that
would require the glibc source.
