This is something I've been digging into, (I'm making a customized set of
boot-floppies with the 2.4.3 kernel and reiserfs).  mklibs.sh has a default
lib-path of /lib:/usr/lib.  Building the rootdisk, mklibs.sh is not called
with the path to the updated libraries.  mklibs.sh needs to be passed a -L
option with the path to the target libraries, and shouldnt even bother with
what's on the platform system.
