Okay, I'm starting to have enough guts about this to release for testing...
klibc is a tiny C library subset intended to be integrated into the kernel source tree and being used for initramfs stuff. Thus, initramfs+rootfs can be used to move things that are currently in kernel space, such as ip autoconfiguration or nfsroot (in fact, mounting root in general) into user space.
I would particularly appreciate portability comments, since I'm flying blind on non-i386 machines (anyone want to send me hardware?), although any bug reports would be appreciated.

I haven't bothered putting a version number on it, since it changes quite often. I have also published the CVS repository in the directory above.
-hpa
P.S. I'm aware gregkh already started a klibc project; I have discussed it with him and we have agreed my project supercedes his.
