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.

Thanks,
Hans
