Hi Peter, I'm looking at using klibc for a small initramfs for our production servers as a way for us to change a bunch of sysctls at boot as well as handle root= logic. To make my life easier in our build environment, I'd like to build klibc outside of the linux tree and in an always clean source tree (potentially a read-only nfs share), so I'd like to extend the build to support this. I've started writing a patch set to solve the immediate problems I'm running into. Do you know if there are out-of-tree patches for the same (to avoid duplicating work here..)? Mike Waychison
