Turns out, not much 'good luck' was needed. Using the fnmatch from
libu ( http://www.koanlogic.com/kl/cont/gb/html/libu-res.html ), which
compiled under klibc with very minor edits, modprobe compiled almost
out of the box (besides the removal of a getopt_long call). I still
need to check on license compatibility, but, hey, it works (using the
static/modprobe build).
I do plan on cleaning it up, and 'klibc'ifying it. By that, I mean,
getting rid of alot of the excess fat that really shouldn't be needed
in the initramfs - a few options, some of the usage output, syslog
calls, etc.
I'll post it to the list later, if anyone is interested.
