If Canonical wants to crowdfund something, let them crowdfund glibc drivers development. I'd contribute to that right away. Funding bionic only hardware doesn't sound exciting.
but its not bionic-only hardware, that is the whole point of libhybris: to run a glibc kernel and userspace.

if specs were available for the mobile EGL implementations people would already be writing drivers, it's not an issue of crowdsourcing, It's an issue of showing there is demand for glibc/non-android linux mobiles
