This is klibc, what is intended to be a minimalistic libc subset for
use with initramfs. It is deliberately written for small size,
minimal entanglement, and portability, not speed. It is definitely a
work in progress, and a lot of things are still missing.
The build procedure is not very polished yet, but it should work like
this:
a) Extract a recent Linux kernel into a directory and run
"make headers_install".
Now enter the klibc dir and point KLIBCKERNELSRC to the
path of the configured linux tree
"make KLIBCKERNELSRC=`pwd`/../linux/usr/".
b) If you're cross-compiling, you need to set KLIBCARCH to the
appropriate architecture, and set CROSS_COMPILE to your toolchain
prefix.
IMPORTANT: if you're on a 64-bit machine with a 32-bit userland
(ia64, mips64, ppc64 sparc64, s390x or x86_64), and you want to
build the 32-bit version: you need to set KLIBCARCH to the 32-bit
architecture as well as set up the linux/include/asm symlink to
point to the 32-bit architecture. Building the 32-bit architecture
usually (but not always) produces smaller binaries, and is likely
to be better tested.
If you are on ARM, and want to build a thumb version of the library
(this is supported), change OPTFLAGS in arch/arm/MCONFIG to build
thumb code.
The following is the last known status of various architectures:
alpha: Working
arm-thumb: Untested
arm: Working
arm26: Not yet ported
arm64: Working
avr32: Not yet ported
cris: Working
h8300: Not yet ported
i386: Working
ia64: Working static, shared untested
m32r: Untested
m68k: Working
mips: Working
mips64: Not yet ported
parisc: Untested
parisc64: Not yet ported
ppc: Working
ppc64: Working
s390: Working
s390x: Working
sh: Runtime breakage
sh64: Not yet ported
sparc: Working
sparc64: Working
v850: Not yet ported
x86-64: Working
xtensa: Not yet ported
Shared library support requires recent binutils on many
architectures.
Note that even the "working" ones likely have bugs. Please report
them if you run into them.
c) Try the test programs in the tests/ directory. They should run...
