Yes, I want to get this merged back into debian, as part of making it
possible to bootstrap a new debian arch without a load of external
tools. At least initially was can have it supported in emdebian
cross-builds. I can help with that.
Can you comment on why stdio-lim.h gets special treatment normally,
but not when doing DEB_CROSS_BOOTSTRAP libc-headers pass and why
rpcsvc needs a load of empty files touching in the debian dir? Both of
these things look a bit hacky and I wonder if there is a better fix
that is more likely to be accepted by the maintainers?
I tried moving the patch forward to glibc2.5 but now I get an infinite
configure loop doing the 'debian fragment', which is probably because
the debian dir in build-tree/glibc-2.5/ points to <current dir> so it
finds the same configure file over and over again until all the memory
is used. I've not yet found where that debian dir is coming from.
