There seems to be some minor conflicts between
the linux unit and the new libc unit on 1.0.10

They both seem to get the job done, but putting them both in the same uses clause could make me crazy. :-o

Any suggestions/opinions as to which one is best?

linux is the FPC unit for Unix.

In the next major version it will be split up and renamed to baseunix/unix/linux, and work on all supported Unixy platforms.

libc is a purely Kylix compability unit for linux/i386 only. Only use it for Kylix emulation purposes and maybe some linux specific stuff.
