	Diary for esden
		And the first thing that I see, is a problem that is bit more complex (I had this already half year ago as I was working on dietlibc).
		Today was my lucky day I finally found a bug that prevented gcc 3.2.1 to compile under dietlibc.
		It was not an error in dietlibc at the beginning but a stupid gnu extination to getcwd command.

	The ROCK Linux Homepage: Dietlibc Support (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This project is about porting as many aplications as possible to diet libc, creating a diet libc only ROCK target, providing diet libc to other targets (like the install/boot disc target) and improoving diet libc itself.
		We already have lots of packages that work under dietlibc and many patches that can be found in the package/base/dietlibc/pkg_patch/ directory of ROCK.
		The current idea is to force gcc to use dietlibc by default without the diet wrapper.

		Dazu ist es notwendig, alle Programme neu zu kompilieren - diesmal mit der dietlibc.
		Dabei ergibt sich aber das Problem, das die dietlibc noch entwickelt wird, bestimmte Teile also fehlen.
		Andere Programme lassen sich dagegen problemlos neu kompilieren.

	GLIBC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Ihre Universalität ist gleichzeitig aber auch der größte Kritikpunkt an der glibc; Durch die Menge des zu inkludierenden Codes werden gegen die glibc gelinkte Programme unnötig groß und damit potenziell langsam.
		Eine Reihe von Projekten hat sich daher der Idee verschrieben, schlanke Alternativen zu glibc zu entwickeln, die bekanntesten sind die uClibc und die dietlibc.
		Durch Beschränkung auf die wirklich wesentlichen Dinge erreichen diese Implementationen eine weitaus geringere Binary-Größe, allerdings lässt sich nicht jedes glibc-Programm auch gegen diese alternativen Bibliotheken linken, oder verhält sich nachher unerwartet.

	[BusyBox] minor dietlibc support patches
		I will also submit a bug to dietlibc, so hopefully this won't be necessary.
		And as far as I know, dprintf is not (yet) a standard (and it appears to have been over a year since it was bantered about on opengroup.org).
		So I think this patch is definitely a portability fix, regardless of dietlibc support or not.

	Personal info for esden
		After some intensive work I got the dietlibc target to compile through.
		They are not yet applyed because Rene is still working on his rc1+fixes tag for his PPC build.
		The dietlibc target is is also used in the bootdisc target.

		Die dietlibc (http://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/) ist ein Ersatz für die GNU libc, die von jeder Linux-Distribution ungefragt installiert wird.
		Im Unterschied zur GNU libc erzeugt die dietlibc wesentlich kleinere Binärprogramme, die entweder statisch gebunden sind oder eigene shared libraries verwenden.
		Die dietlibc ist eine C-library und eignet sich daher nur für diese Sprache.

		Hi, I am not sure whether it's a dietlibc bug or a kernel one (I suspect the latter one), but realloc() fails with ENOMEM at code like ------ #include int main() { char *p = malloc(3000); realloc(p, 5000); } ------

		I decided to put this online for you -- grab only the irssi binary or an archive containing the binary, irssi.conf for /etc and all docu/scripts/themes included in the irssi source distribution.
		If you have a really minimal system you may need to get this archive with the terminfo-db and unpack it to /usr/share.
		You can use the current CD to boot into an existing system after messing with your bootloader as well as booting into a standalone rescue system, containing e2fsck, fdisk, mke2fs, tune2fs,..; I'm currently trying to add more tools, if you have some useful programs for a rescue-system working with dietlibc please mail me.
