You could, as long as your work didn't necessitate changes to those specific
parts of libc (or any other piece of the closed code, it's not like that
specific bit is any more or less a barrier).
The closed stuff is problematic, it would be great to see it go away, and
any project to make bits of it go away would, I'm sure, be greatly
appreciated, but it by no means makes work (in the general sense) impossible.
