klibc - Apr 2013 - Recent kexec-tools and klibc on x86/x86-64

Hello,

trying to update to the latest kexec version I'm blocked by the lack
of  basename() and vfscanf() in klibc.
I've noticed it only recently because I'm building almost exclusively
for arm.

This commit intruduced the issue:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git/commit/kexec/arch/i386/x86-linux-setup.c?id=3bf0213789d56054f601c5a06372f78567aacdd9

Has anybody already a fix? Suggestions?

TIA

Andrea

With the latest changes to klibc it is probably possible to implement
vfscanf, although it will increase the size of the scanf engine.

basename() is trivial.
