 Ok, how about doing that? not building a static version of busybox on
 alpha until this bug is resolved? (and applying the known-to-work patch
 for ia64/alpha). It would get d-i building again.

reassign to libc6 as they are problems of this package. ia64 may be
fixable by a binary nmu.

The adjtimex bug has been assigned to libc6 already, with a note that
its now severity serious as it breaks d-i.  I'm proposing to do binary
NMUs for alpha, ia64 busybox-cvs : hence I'm CC'ing all the uploaders
for busybox CVS (its maintainer is set to debian-boot). 
Any objections?

Regards,
Alastair

i prepare a new upload which may break modutils on any arch != i386
because noone want to recently test them. it fixes any syscall problems.

before upload i want to fix the support for biarch in modutils.

getting ia64 building needs more than just a rebuild against the newer
libc6.1-dev - it needs source changes too.

see #201161.

 If you need a quick resolution for that problem, the easiest thing would
 be to stop building a static version of busybox.
 
 I'll take a look at the adjtimex problem.  However, static binaries are
 always going to be second-class citizens as far as glibc is concerned
