This means: klibc > works as a runtime library, but klcc is useless. IMHO is the problem in our kernel26 package. Therein we have a bad symlink to the architecture asm directory.

These are the problems that the other klibc-* tools don't build. But if i change the kernel asm Symlink to: /usr/src/linux-2.6.28-ARCH/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.28-ARCH/arch/x86/include/asm (for i686), then i could build a) klibc 1.5.15 without the 2.6.28-patch b) the other klibc-* tools from core.
