    And the shared library loader is called ld-uClibc-0.9.17.so and is 
linked to by ld-uClibc.so.0, right?

   It looks like my kernel assembles the stack differently than 
ldso/ldso/ldso.c expects.  I can confirm this by using my working 
ld-2.0.7.so with uClibc, right?

   I'll post my strange stack findings in the next email to the list.

   Is this needed to execute stuff compiled/linked with uClibc in when I'm 
using the uClibc shared lib loader?  Its not needed if I don't use the 
uClibc shared lib loader, is it?
