well, i asked on the list (uClibc) some time ago, about compiling stuff like
perl or other "greater" programs, and it seemed that some functions are
still missing, and some might not even not implemented (That's one reason
why it is smaller). So maybe there is work to do to get a program compile
properly...
What is missing right now is thread support. That's for sure ;-)
The maintainer said, there are going into that direction and many people who
are develeopers of embedded system want to use that, so they seem to be a
set of good programmers working on it. And i think there will be many
programs patched.
A few days ago someone posted a success story about compiling python for his
platform.

Well i'm not sure. But if this is the case i'm sure they are working on
it...

Well maybe we can talk about that ;-)
The Maintainer of busybox/tinylogin/uClibc seems to be willing to help get
things running if you run into trouble.
But as i said it might take some time, as they haven't even released one
version yet (Only CVS)..
