After a little bit of experience getting an eglibc-based cross
compiler working (both with instructions from CLFS and some hints in
eglibc's mailing list), I was wondering if there was ever going to be
an eglibc ticket for blfs.

I'm not asking this for political reasons, and it would be great if
the words "Drepper" and "Ulrich" were absent from this conversation
outside of this e-mail. What attracted me to eglibc was the fact that
it's less monolithic than glibc while still aiming at compatibility
with glibc. I run off an 8-gig USB stick, and occasionally that 8 gigs
turns into 256 megs if I step on something or leave something in my
pocket for our apartment's broken dryers to melt, or otherwise
physically break my stick and return to my back-up system. The idea of
actually being able to compile and build programs again that actually
work in one of my "mother" systems, was just too good to pass up.
Small + c library = good thing in my book.

A ticket for uClibc would be great too, but less desirable due to a
lack of intent toward binary compatibility.
