yes, but the fundamental underpinnings can be the same, so hijacking more of 
their code is only a good thing imo.  the end result will be better for us.

i'm bugging the kbuild guys as to how the core works in Linux, not "why isn't 
it working for me in uClibc".

my rewrite would get use to a more maintainable system by not duplicating the 
frameworks, using the same syntax across the tree, and avoid recursion.  speed 
is only one factor driving this.
