Hi Martin, Did you get the mail last night? If not, I can try again. It was very small in the end!
>Charles already answered that one - but if you want to find out even >more than what he wrote, have a look at >http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_binary_interface Useful site that. Thanks! >Correct. We _have_ to move sooner or later, because we'll hit more and >more packages that simply won't compile anymore with the old uClibc >version (so far, we've managed to patch our way around that, but >there'll be a point when that's impossible). Indeed. Related to that, it possible that effort will be wasted coding round problems that could have been resolved in moving to the later version.... It's just a question of working out where the breakeven point of effort is. >And then, the newer versions also offer additional features (like the >NPTL support that's currently being worked on). The new feature around the corner! I also think a new libm is expected as well. However, will we be able to use NPTL without a 2.6 kernel? Plus will it actually be that useful for what these systems do? >You mean, you used binaries compiled against uClibc 0.9.20 with uClibc >0.9.27? If that worked, you've just been very lucky (since that usually >ends in a segfault rather quickly). Knowing what I do now, I tend to agree with you :-) Gavin PS I have no control below here!!
