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.

IMHO is the problem in our kernel26 package. Therein we have a bad symlink to the architecture asm directory.

These are the problems that the other klibc-* tools don't build. But if i change the kernel asm Symlink to: /usr/src/linux-2.6.28-ARCH/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.28-ARCH/arch/x86/include/asm (for i686), then i could build a) klibc 1.5.15 without the 2.6.28-patch b) the other klibc-* tools from core.
