Showstopper: klibc needs to be fixed. It breaks compilation of tools.
Could you be more specific? There was some talk on the klibc ML about recent kernel changes, so I'd like to know what is broken. Perhaps it is fixable (and Debian may have changes already)
klibc didn't build against 2.6.28 because some asm headers are now in arch/x86/include/ instead of include/asm-x86/. I added a quick-fix to the Makefile so klibc would build. However, I forgot that these headers weren't installed either, so now klcc does not compile anything that needs any of those headers (I didn't notice because I didn't have to recompile the klibc-* packages). This means: klibc works as a runtime library, but klcc is useless. klibc has released a new version, but this was not fixed (however, the ext4 detection was fixed by Theodore Ts'o himself, so this is probably better than what I did).
