I'd like to be able to compile the boot image binaries (BOEL + busybox etc.) against the standard libc instead of uClibc. I may need to add binaries to the boot utilities, to which I don't have the source, and which would not load against uClibc.
So far all I've been able to figure out is to basically have UCLIBC_ARCH_NAME be undefined in initrd.rul and let things run from there. It *seems* to work except that the binaries generated expect libc to be in /lib/i686 and mklibs.sh does seem to pick this up. No prob tho' as I just do 'ln -s . i686' in /lib. (I guess it's not really required as I found out running ldd in a chroot of the build_dir).
However, now the kernel doesn't boot as it isn't able to find 'init' on startup. I get something like:
VFS: Mounted root (cramfs filesystem). Mounted devfs on /dev Freeing unused kernel memory: 500k freed Error -3 while decompressing! c02f1fe8(-474745526)->c3ec7000(4096) Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
So I wouldn't be surprised if my not using uClibc has caused something else to break and this panic is as a result of that or I'm doing something else dumb.
As an aside, I'm now using isolinux to build a boot image and running everything under VMware. The default build, using uClibc, works just fine in this environment.
I'd appreciate any pointers.
Thanks --Jens
