These files should be put into a udeb. It's not appropriate to

need to rebuild rootskel every time that klibc changes.

yes, but it is the only solution that i've found because cpio is not in klibc-utils

and it frees ~80k on bootfloppy because we do not use all klibc commands

If it would

be helpful, I can provide a patch to klibc to make a udeb.

i send a patch to put cpio in klibc but maks said there were license incompatibility. and it works on recode cpio in BSD license

so i think we have to wait.

i want to see if the 80k freed will be useful for 2.6.18 because we will have to build a klibc-utils-bootfloppy udeb then
