I have released version 2.0.13. This is available in the git
repository at:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc.git
and as a tarball at:
https://mirrors.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/klibc/2.0/
New features:
- The statx() and clock_{gettime,settime,nanosleep}() system calls are
supported.
- time_t is 64-bit on all architectures.
- The LoongArch64 architecture is supported.
- kinit supports kernel parameter root=PARTLABEL=...
Bug fixes:
- select() with a NULL timeout works correctly when select() is a
wrapper function.
- ipconfig no longer busy-polls in certain conditions.
- It's possible to build for MIPS64 R6 with newer gcc versions.
- The command aliases of gzip and halt are installed as links instead
of copies.
Other changes:
- All architectures use the RT signals API (i386, m68k, and s390(x)
previously did not).
- The address layout for arm and riscv64 has been changed to work
around a QEMU bug.
- ipconfig retries failed sends after 1 second instead of 10 seconds.
A git shortlog of changes since version 2.0.12 follows.

Is there a minimum kernel that klibc is expected to build against? I ask
because klibc-2.0.13 includes a change that requires kernel 5.11+.
Klibc klibc-2.0.13 introduces build errors when built against 5.10
kernel:
In file included from usr/klibc/sysv_signal.c:5:

Bisecting kernel v5.10..v5.11 vs klibc-2.0.13 indicates 5.11 commit
1d82b7898f2a ("arch: move SA_* definitions to generic headers") is
required to build klibc-2.0.13.
Bisecting klibc-2.0.12..klibc-2.0.13 vs 5.10 indicates klibc-2.0.13
commit ea8e91a7db06 ("[klibc] m68k,s390,x86: signal: Stop using broken
<asm/signal.h>") is where 5.11+ is required.
