3* integrate build framework with config(1) to stop the need to
4  maintain a separate build infrastructure.  the remaining step
5  is to rewrite the Makefiles to use  source file lists generated
6  with config(1) (where possible)
7  + this will also benefit kernel modules
8  + the patch to config(1) exists but is not in-tree.  remaining work is
9    modifications to files.*
10* the .a semantics do not make sense for rump kernel components.
11  additionally, they cannot be loaded as modules since they are
12  ar's instead of elf objects.  make the build produce and use elf
13  objects instead of archives
14* cleanup remaining uses of __ in the kernel
15* rump_syscalls.c in librump should be compiled in the client
16  namespace, not the rump kernel namespace.  while technically trivial,
17  the build system makes this quite difficult.  one option for "cheating"
18  would be to put it into librumpuser which is always available for
19  local clients (per definition of local client).
