I don't think so. As far as I can see, ABI is not changed. All what is changed is as if every expression of type char is cast to (unsigned char) _in uclibc code_ (as opposed to uclibc headers). Headers obviously must still be written with attention to "signed char" problems. -- vda _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
