One issue got left out by mistake I think.

I could not get pacman to work properly building klibc, since it stripped all 
the symbols from /usr/lib/klibc/lib/libc.so
I don't know why the old pacman did not do this, since I could not find 
anything different in logic. Maybe there is some other mechanism that I did 
not find?
So just check that klibc builds without stripping  /usr/lib/klibc/lib/libc.so, 
or install a patch similar to this.

For some reason "file -biz /usr/lib/klibc/lib/libc.so" gives 
application/x-executable and not application/x-sharedlib, and gets its 
symbols stripped. That in turn will make build of klibc-* packets fail.
