I have released version 2.0.8.  This is available in the git
repository at:

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc.git

and as a tarball at:

    https://mirrors.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/klibc/2.0/

New features:
- Support for building with clang and lld, at least on x86
- Defined sysconf(), initially supporting only _SC_PAGE_SIZE
- Defined clearerr() as extern
- Defined stdio _unlocked functions and macros
- Support for building without bash

Bug fixes:
- Fix build regression with gcc 10
- Executable stacks are disabled on architectures where they are not
  needed
- fstype no longer checks whether an ext4 module is installed, which
  did not work correctly with compressed modules
- losetup uses the kernel's structure definitions, rather than its own
  which were wrong for some architectures
- ipconfig ignores extra fields in the ip and nfsaddrs kernel
  parameters, rather than treating them as an error
- Various warning fixes

Other changes:
- Removed cris port
- losetup always uses the modern loop ioctl API
- dash changes from upstream are documented

A git shortlog of changes since version 2.0.7 follows.

Ben.
