:(

However, in the meantime in i386/floppies/ramdisk, I have a file called
keepme, containing

bootp
cleanup
commit_leases
cur_time
dhcp
local_port
log_perror
log_priority
write_lease

and added to ramdiskbin.conf

progs dhclient
special dhclient srcdir usr.sbin/dhcp/client

and added /usr/src/usr.sbin/dhcp/common/obj/libdhcp.a to the libs line.

Then, after a make, editing the line in obj/ramdiskbin.mk from
        crunchide -k _crunched_dhclient_stub dhclient.cro
to
        crunchide -k _crunched_dhclient_stub -f ../keepme dhclient.cro

a further make seems to do the trick... (Oh yes, and the LINK in list)

Cheers,

Patrick
