Actually, I do understand the ramifications of mklibs.  I didn't pull it out 
of the build.  I made it actually use the libraries we really build instead 
of sneaking out into the host distro to get "better ones".

If we're going to prefer the build host libraries and include files to what's 
in the SI source, then why the heck do we even bother downloading and 
building source tarballs for e2fsprogs, xfsprogs, lvm, openssh, etc?

On every x86 distro upon which  I tried to build 3.4.1, *lots* of stuff from 
the distro was being linked into the tarball INSTEAD of what we were building 
from source.  I'll bet that the same thing is happening on ppc.  Scan the log 
of one of your builds and just check and see where libuuid is really coming 
from, for example.  I'd bet a dollar that it's not coming from the source we 
compile.  Ditto that for the uuid/uuid.h file.

The kernel and initrd.img boot (just tested that) but they shell out pretty 
quick because something is looking for the /proc filesystem and it isn't 
there.
