I've removed all the Makefile magic in the latest version. I've wrapped
the pwd stuff in our own function cause we need to use it for a static
glibc build too. libsysfs is rewritten and we've removed all the
incompatible stuff. :)

The malloc.h was a simple wrapper that included some other header, that
can be included in klibc. The other stuff is a bit more complicated, you
can't really use fgets() and similar with klibc cause it is the slowest
thing on earth with a syscall for every character to read. We mmap the
file for that reason and have our own cheap kind of buffering.

We just removed mntent from the new libsysfs, we no longer support other
mount points than /sys. You still can override it with the environment,
but it will not parse /proc/mounts anymore.

Thanks,
