i'm trying to figure out how klibc is part of a regular kernel build, and i'm having trouble. i understand (in a general sense) that klibc is a tiny C library meant for userspace, and for creating initramfs images. but it's clearly not part of the current kernel source tree, and yet, if you look in /usr, the Makefile there just as clearly has a few klibc-related references: $ grep -rw klibcdirs * usr/Makefile:klibcdirs:; usr/Makefile:PHONY += klibcdirs usr/Makefile:$(deps_initramfs): klibcdirs usr/Makefile:$(obj)/initramfs_data.cpio.gz: $(obj)/gen_init_cpio $(deps_initramfs) klibcdirs but what's the reasoning behind that "klibcdirs" target? it doesn't seem to have any value. can someone clarify what's going on here, and how klibc can affect a kernel configuration and build? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
