While building a crosstool-ng toolchain for my Mac, I noticed the following:
1. "ldd --version" on my BBB gives 'Debian EGLIBC 2.13-38' 2. eglibc.org <http://www.eglibc.org/home> says that it is "no longer supported" 3. ct-ng recent issue response <https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng/issues/8> seems to state that they're starting the process to remove it Still having some difficulties getting my cross-compile toolchain built for mac os x... but that's to be expected. I'm also using 'Lion' (v10.6) which is two versions older than 'Maverick' or whatever... guess they ran out of cats... Hey, I just hate upgrading because it's always involved from my development perspective. Rather than make a public forum, I'd like to assess the situation. - Should I be concerned that the debian distro uses eglibc? - If I don't use eglibc, I probably can build the toolchain, but I'm not sure how that will work out in the longrun? - Is it possible that I can build a distro for my BBB that uses glibc instead? I saw that I can build the kernel in FAQ section, but I'm not sure about all the other drivers and such for peripherals? - Are there any plans for beaglebone to migrate to a distro that uses glibc instead of eglibc, or is this a non-issue? Meanwhile, I keep attempting to build a cross-compile toolchain for eclipse. Yes, I have a virtual machine for Ubuntu 14.10... but that's not the point... the VM can really slow my machine down, so I'd rather just work under Mac if possible. Any suggestions or topics you might have for building a cross-compile toolchain for Mac OS X would also be appreciated.
