Don't hate me -- but why not 1 libc -- store it on disk and use it?
3. libc needs to be present alongside modprobe (=inside same initramfs image), because your kernel does not yet have the disk driver loaded to potentially use a common on-disk libc.

Couldn't it just use system calls and only provide module loading?
