  No, glibc and bionic supply much of the same functionality, so you can't use
both unless you do some *serious* glibc hacking. Most C apps should work fine
with only bionic. Building with glibc and then trying to use bionic at runtime
won't work either.

  You don't really need bionic unless you want to access the lower level
functionality in Android, like making a phone call. If you really want to run
both, I'm available for toolchain consulting. :-)
