I have pushed a new klibc which uses a modern NetBSD-derived ash. The
initial port was done by Olaf, and I've mostly applied the chainsaw to
it until it was less than 50% larger than the old one.
It's still substantially larger, but should also eliminate need for some
external binaries like expr and test, which are otherwise ubiquitous for
any sensible shell scripts, and perhaps most importantly, it works
correctly on 64-bit platforms.
