Émeric seems to have had luck working around the problem by using busybox instead of klibc[1]. Thorsten mentioned that some low-level voodoo will probably be needed before klibc is properly fixed[2]: | I’ve just put some 「write(2, "here1\n", 6)」 style debugging | into klibc’s libc_main.c and found out that shared binaries | seem to crash before reaching __libc_main there. And I cannot | debug an ELF interpreter with gdb, or at least I don’t know | how. Would an IA64 expert please look at this? (Note the way | how klibc does shared binaries is… special.) For the short term, perhaps someone interested could take inspiration from Émeric's instructions and write a patch for initramfs-tools to disable use of klibc on ia64?
