[hobbit] Client install does not work. No reports. And of course no Glibc.

The system where you compiled the client has a different libc version
than the one where you installed the client.

Hobbit builds whatever your compiler/linker toolchain produces.
If you're using gcc (eg on a Linux system, which this appears to be),
then you can compile the client statically by changing the top-level 
Makefile: Add a CFLAGS setting like this:

# Add local CFLAGS etc. settings here
CFLAGS=-static

Then run "make clean; make; make install" and re-create your cpio file
with the new executables.
