That's _SO_ much? Ouch... I now understand a lot more why Al Viro removed 
printf from UML usage (I tried to use printf rather than printk to report 
that a console channel is disabled; I later solved the problem with the 
kernel sprintf + a direct write() on stdout).

Ok, the two below functions are plain dumb - there's a MAXPATHLEN (i.e. 
PATH_MAX i.e. 4096) array on the stack, and they could happily be fixed.

All the rest seems plain glibc code and thus unfixable.
