Well, feel free to dig into the dietlibc build log I just attached in reply to Herbert's log, and I'd be happy to provide you with further information if needed :) As of now, I haven't tried the latest VS patch against the latest 4.9 kernel in too much depth (there are a few rejected hunks, is all I saw, no idea how much there is to fix). If there was an "easy" way to stick to vserver, I'd probably stick with it. But Herbert's words sound sadly true: if it has now become a project used by a handful of enthusiasts only, its regrettable demise is only a matter of time, in which case I'd rather migrate sooner than later with my back to the wall. Again, these emails are not written out of spite or anger, I hope that's clear :) It's just always a bit sad to see a project quietly fade away and I thought I would at least send kind words at the people responsible for the project :) Cheers -- Romain Rivière
