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. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function
