I completely forgot, I also need signoffs for all klibc-* packages to be moved to core.
klibc is missing the license file: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14775 I haven't checked the license for the other klibc-*.
BTW, there are several bugs for these packages (http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?string=klibc&project=1). Are these fixed in the testing packages?
As for the "klibc-* doesn't build" issues, I am pissed because instead of just reporting them as one reported, the reporter opened a separate report for clearly related issues. However, I cannot reproduce any of those issues. About the license, this is a apparently of mix GPL and BSD licensed code, there seems to be a license file in some directories and none in others. In short: it is unclear what the right license would actually be (I don't know who put the license line in the PKGBUILD in the first place). I am not motivated to fix any of this, because it is a mess and klibc and all related packages should disappear soon and be replaced by a uclibc+busybox-based setup: Jan already put a first toolchain for uclibc in testing, the biggest change is the early userspace scripts. klibc is unmaintained (an unpatched version still doesn't build with 2.6.28 or newer) and there has been no activity on the project in a long time.
