If there is no decision made today, I will get it back to the previous implementation (fixing those bugs uncovered during this transition).
I don't want it to be another 5-years story (like the one uncovered by Stefan in cmlib, which also needs a libsupp, and right now does no interlocking at all).

That's why I want to reach a decision about this as soon as possible.
Also, about grouping out the environment independent code out of the RTL in to some imaginary RTL_INDEP library, and having smaller RTL_UMODE, RTL_KMODE, RTL_BOOTLOADER, RTL_HOSTTOOL libraries, I find this wrong, because it adds complexity over the method we had (using a support library), but gives no real benefits.
