Ah, so it's all klibc related.

Well, not _drop_ it, but make it conditional (WITH_SYSTEM_LIBS="yes") to compile it all against glibc + system devmapper + sysfs, so that everyone can choose at compile time. (SUSE has, for various reasons, glibc in the initrd, so I'm happily compiling everything against glibc anyway; I expect some others might be wanting to do that too.)
