klibc - Jul 2003 - Trying to test with 2.6.0-test2

Hi folks,

     I haven't tested initramfs with klibc before and am having trouble
getting going.   I tried to pull from the klibc-2.5 bk repository but
it doesn't merge with 2.6t2.   Also i downloaded the .80 version and
tried to compile but got a stream of errors and warnings.   It looks like
it needs to be compiled from within the kernel tree but i couldn't find any
docs about the proper setup.  Any pointers on how to get started
would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Sean

I'm trying to build on RH9+ with gcc-3.3-12 and for what it's worth
here's the first
few error lines after typing make in the klibc directory:

No surprise.  The last kernel I tested against was 2.5.75, and I was
on vacation for a few weeks.  I'm merging up to 2.6.0-test2 right now;
thanks for the pointer.

Forget about that - .80 doesn't compile against anything more recent
than 2.5.6x.

I'll try to get everything sane again today.

What arch and compiler version?
