I think spec=standard....

wrong.... printf() is a function which is part of the c language...
therefore you need libc.
in fact,...one would be hard pressed to write a C program which could run
without libc (and I am not counting staticly linked against
libc either ;) )

hmm ok

yes the would wouldn't they...isn't cache wonderfull? :)
Wish I could help more...but the problems you describe aren't anything
inherint in the icbs stuff...it just means it doesn't recognize the binary
as something runnable...
so either the icbs isn't working...oir just setup wrong
isn't icbs a kernel option? is it on?
(I know little about it...)
