I got a reason to ask you about 'klibc'.
Klibc is not supported 'anymore' by udev and soonish the whole code will
be dropped ( not only parts removed like is now )
what means we have to backport and revert thinks forever which we don't
really want.
Using glibc is a bit crazy while bloated so I think the right direction
is to use busybox ( the svn version got already builtin initramfs
support but ohh well is svn :)) +uclibc or dietlibc.
