Okay, as of this point, I think klibc is in quite good shape; my
testing so far is showing that it can be used as a drop-in replacement
for the kernel root-mounting code.
That being said, there is guaranteed to be breakage, for two reasons:
a. There are several architectures which don't have klibc ports yet.
Since I don't have access to them, I can't really do them, either.
It's usually a matter of an afternoon or less to port klibc to a
new architecture, though, if you have a working development
environment for it.
Which ones?
This is the status of architectures in klibc, at least as far as I know.
Note that 64-bit architectures which have 32-bit fallback modes (e.g.
MIPS) can use the 32-bit klibc if applicable.
