Awesome, Thanks
I will build some things in a chroot, to see how it behaves.

One note here, (low priority): in the ".install" post_upgrade() there is
a line "init u".  If glibc is installed in a chroot and don't have
sysvinit package, because isn't needed, when glibc is upgrading will
show a warning about can't execute init, so you can replace this line
with a "[ -x /sbin/init ] && /sbin/init u" ?

And a question: why still support older kernels from 2.6.16?,
considering that minimal kernel that udev support is 2.6.22, maybe can
change the line --enable-kernel=2.6.16 with a superior version >= 2.6.22

>From glibc manual: "This option is currently only useful on GNU/Linux
systems. The version parameter should have the form X.Y.Z and describes
the smallest version of the Linux kernel the generated library is
expected to support. The higher the version number is, the less
compatibility code is added, and the faster the code gets."
