That actually makes a ton of sense.  One immediate win would be that 
klibc can be tuned to the kernel it ships with (the dynamic loader will 
pick the correct object), so less #ifdef trees.  Another would be to 
make klibc the formal kernel interface, which allows us to reimplement 
an older interface in terms of the one that supercedes it.
