Darren, Astlinux currently is not binary compatible with glibc. I don't foresee it being binary compatible in the near future. There are some other possible build systems which can build fairly small images using glibc, but we're not set up to use any of them. We've looked (briefly) at using eglibc which claims to be binary compatible, but it would take more effort than we have developer time right now. If we were able to attract additional developer resources, it may allow us to explore some other possibilities. SFA (Skype for Asterisk) and Fax for Asterisk are two binary-only modules. codec_g729.so is another area, but that is atleast possible, if we get the necessary resources from Digium. I would not suggest holding your breath. SFA is an intriguing tool which is of interest. Not sure if it's interesting enough to justify moving to something compatible with glibc though.
