Dracut just uses what is on the system, so yeah it'll use glibc unless
some module pulls it in. There is a busybox module in dracut to allow it
to be installed but it's not enabled by default AFAICT.

</I>
My machine is an LVM one, so I can likely test this, but as my current
initrd does not have ulibc in it, I doubt very much this test will show
anything other than success :)
