Even if everything is written in a reentrant way, there still will be some
areas where some effort is required, like for errno (which by definition is
allowed to be a macro), or the memory management. In my current test
libraries for PureC the SLB stubs receive a structure for function pointers
that can be used to call back into the main code (for instance for
malloc()) -- anybody having a better idea?
