That was not the initial intent though as it started separately and outside
the kernel. Also the main difference is that klibc is compiled. Here we
only provide includes so that there's nothing to compile before using it.
We'll see when this becomes an issue, but for now it stands fine.

But I agree that both pursue very similar goals.
