Well, I'm not sure what you mean by progress, but the long and short
of it is that you can't "mix" libkse and libc_r.  The mapping works around
this by making sure that only one of the two is being used.  So, you can
get correct behaviour (*) with libkse, but you have to have everything
compiled with it.  During this transition period we are getting a lot of
people who have one application compiled with one library trying to work
with another application compiled with the other.  E.g. eclipse or mozilla
is compiled with libc_r and the jdk is compiled with libkse (or vice
versa).

* - there are some JVM debugging hooks which aren't working right with
    libkse last I heard.
