I think you're missing some details here. It's not the "Red Hat version", sources.redhat.com is merely a hosting site, and that version is in fact the official GNU libc, the ones you'd get from ftp.gnu.org<ftp://ftp.gnu.org>.
eglibc is a fork, created initially because the glibc project declined to continue full support for certain embedded scenarios. So while you might be right that eglibc is more suited to certain situations (basically, if the processor architecture is not well supported by glibc), the terms you've used to describe this are incorrect. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeremiah Foster Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 7:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MeeGo-dev] glibc vs. eglibc Hello, Is there a reason that MeeGo uses the Red Hat version of glibc[0] versus the GNU version of glibc[1]? It seems eglibc is more appropriate for embedded systems. 0. http://sources.redhat.com/glibc/ 1. http://www.eglibc.org/home -- Jeremiah
