Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [hyperion] 36761: added lib/rtl/rtl-common.rbuild modified lib/rtl/rtl.rbuild Compile rtl twice, as rtl_umode and rtl_kmode. Allows conditional compilation of RTL (finally!), instead of necessitating hacks like RtlpGetMode()

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.
