Um, wow.  Really?

Caught by surprise here.  I suppose this means I should start actually testing 
-git again.  (Is feeding a 0.9.31 .config into the thing and doing "make 
oldconfig" likely to produce a remotely useful result?)

I'm up to applying 10 patches to uClibc 0.9.31 to get my various targets and 
about 95% of the Linux From Scratch 6.7 build to complete.  (Currently trying 
to figure out why udev is mis-extracting.)  I think I've waved all of these at 
the list at one point or another, but just in case:

I'll try to finish up the Linux From Scratch build automation with the old 
uClibc, then I can regression test the new one against that...
