Is that GNU libc the one you are using? or Debian's EGNU libc? GNU libc has been doing some improvements lately, but right now, it is not in Debian world. >> To make it possible I also have to alter contents of *-source binary >> packages >> from binutils/eglibc/gcc/linux to have a possibility to reuse their >> packaging >> rules in new $ARCH-cross-compiler package on which I will work in next >> weeks. > > I think we should have a "policy" document there, to allow uClibc to provide > a drop-in replacement for eglibc. Simon, I belive, right now, we should focus on Squeeze release and just provide a binutils/eglibc/gcc/linux cross tool. Repackaging work is to be done. Allowing uClibc or other libc's on the build we can discuss later, but it is good point to have it in mind since the beginning of the new $ARCH-cross-compiler packaging.
