GNU bc is unmaintained for years. The latest version is from 2017. It don’t have a repo or a mailing list.

bc-gh started in 2018 and it is still actively developed. It is adopted by many projects I’ve listed in my post.

perhaps they don’t care about bc. I think they don’t even notice that GNU bc haven’t been updated since 2017.

I will change it to “licensing reason”. Thank you

But the software you listed are used by many peoples. bc-gh is robust and performant, GNU bc is not actively developed, and benchmark shows that it is clearly slower than bc-gh in most case. But in most distros bc-gh is not available.

But there are technical reason too. IIRC, gcc > 4.3 drop support for some architecture?

Making a LFS distro already show you all the GNU mess! Why another distro?
