Bump libc dependency to 0.2.98 about process_control HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, if bumping the minimum version makes your build easier, I can absolutely make that change.

Do you need the minimum version to be 0.2.98? From that issue, 0.2.88 (and possibly 0.2.87) should have support as well. I would rather avoid bumping libc to the latest version if possible, to avoid breaking builds or forcing a version that may be unusable for a project.

Great, thanks.

Unfortunately the fix for NetBSD is only in 0.2.98 and later (see #2265). I agree that bumping libc to the latest version does have some risk associated - I'd be happy if you want to hold off until the next release or the release after that, just to be safe. I can drop you a reminder if a few weeks, if that's ok?

Thanks for the offer, but I decided to publish version 3.1.0 with the updated requirement. Since none of the published reverse-dependencies of libc have a version that forbids 0.2.98 but allows 0.2, this should be pretty safe. Any crates deciding later to add a maximum version for libc can add a maximum version for process_control too.

Brilliant, thanks!
