Changes in these versions:
klibc: - compile shared binaries by default (somehow this defaults to static in klibc 1.5) - patch klibc to be able to build klibc-module-init-tools - don't build insmod - rebuild against 2.6.23 headers
klibc-extras: - update to 2.3, removed modprobe
klibc-udev: - rebuild for new klibc, enable shared linking again
klibc-module-init-tools: - initial commit to the repository (replaces insmod from klibc and modprobe from klibc-extras)
mkinitcpio: - Fix #8448 - Change the base hook to work with klibc-m-i-t
Just curious- what is the downside of building statically? It seems like it could be a plus in some ways, because you eliminate one more chance of breakage in early userspace. Of course, this also increases the size of your built binaries and increases the size of your initrd. -Dan
