The place is cleaned from libsysfs/ and libdevmapper/ starting from 0.4.4-pre6. I modified the Makefiles to still compile properly with BUILD=klibc on systems with /usr/lib/klibc/ properly stuffed with klibc-compiled versions of these libs. A little more work for people interested in this setup, but still fairly manageable. Hope it eases the packaging for everyone. Please tell if some more work needs to be merged in this area.
