utils/run-init is needed if you want to build initramfs. initramfs is the successor to initrd - new format, better to use, but needs run-init instead of pivot_root to work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: find /usr/portage |grep klibc Actual Results: -> not found Expected Results: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/klibc/ has the software, an ebuild would be nice.
Anyone interested?
It shouldn't be to hard to put together, although I never use initrds, but I can put something together if no one else who actually uses them is interested.
Created attachment 52268 [details] ebuild for klibc-0.198 Here's one I prepared eariler :) I'm not entirely sure the install section is correct (that everything is put into the right place) this should extract the source / compile and dump everything including the source into /usr/shared/klibc/ the replacement for pivot_root (run-init) for initramfs images should be located here after the emerge /usr/share/klibc/utils/static/run-init
Created attachment 52505 [details, diff] klibc-0.198-confkern.patch
Created attachment 52507 [details] ebuild for klibc-0.198-r1 slightly better version that uses a patch to alter the klibc MCONFIG file so that if the kernel's source / build directories are different (if configkernel has been used) this will still compile also make can be used without any additional parameters (may be useful if another prog such as udev static ever needs to compile against this)
Added an ebuild to portage.
