Dear Adrian, Ben,
as a follow-up to [1], I'm using klibc-utils with my patch since shortly
before submitting the merge request ("Build static tools for ia64 again"
([2])) but rebuilt it yesterday with a checkout of the current state of
the master branch of kernel-team/klibc ([3]) as source folder instead of
the original one of the current source of the klibc-utils package.
[1]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/2018/06/msg00000.html
[2]: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/klibc/merge_requests/1
[3]:
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/klibc/tree/417eafe62fc13011bf024ded9eef1b3b16c372cd
After installing the package (package changes further below), I can
successfully use e.g. the `cat` tool of klibc-utils 2.0.4-12, which
didn't work with 2.0.4-11 (see [1]). And of course the tools of
klibc-utils 2.0.4-12 - specifically `ipconfig` - also work during OS
startup.
