The original c-lib for linux is called glibc1. Although based on gnu
libc at one time, it was specific to linux. The new one is called
glibc2, and is synced with gnu.
__GLIBC__ is defined in <features.h>
It is unfortunate the glibc has an interface to ip_ops that is
strange. I have discussed this with the maintainer, and I forwared
his response to this list. Basically, he said he solicited ideas for
a design, but got no replies.
Glibc2 is in probably all new Linux distributions, including the
current redhat and debian. It is without question the standard.
