oh, sorry, i see what you mean.  i was thinking in terms of crap removed (as 
that's what i'm after), not crap added (which is what Peter is after).  i 
hadnt noticed that.  i dont know if it'll break glibc (and really, any other 
sane libc).  if that is the case, then i think klibc here is the 2nd class 
citizen to everyone else.
