Is here somebody around who groks library reduction? I'm not getting
anywhere with it, lacking some background information and seem to be
blind all over.
The problem:
__udivdi3 is in the reduced libc, while __divdi3 is not.
This causes mke2fs to fail on plain files.
Some output (which I don't fully understand due to the lack of objdump
documentation)

I guess that ".text" means the symbol is defined in that file
and that "*UND*" is just a reference to the symbol. If so, the
symbol get's stripped off and I don't know why...
Letting mklibs.sh run on libext2, mke2fs and libc results in
undefined-symbol: __divdi3
undefined-symbol: __udivdi3
but not in provided symbols.
I'm giving up for the moment unless somebody gives me the required
hint.
Regards,
Joey
