Every version of glibc ever, as far as I know. I have tested on 2.2.4 (ia64),
2.2.5 (i386) and 2.3.2 (i386). I also googled around a bit, which led me to
believe this applies to all version of glibc. I think that function was
added to GNU libc a long time ago, before POSIX, and to stay compatible with
itself it hasn't changed since then.
