I know that, this isn't new to me, too.
But with the older distribution I enabled ntpdate and iperf and it just worked.
I think the uClibc resolved it.
With the new distribution no executables are created for the above programs.
And I believe it is related to changes in the uClibc with the new compiler
switch (__ARCH_USE_MMU__).
My question now is, must I convert an unknown number of utilities by myself
or is there another new compiler switch that I haven't seen.

Platform is Coldfire 5282 (no mmu).
uClibc has a new compiler-switch named __ARCH_USE_MMU__ and therefore
'fork'
is no more available.
The result is that ntpdate, iperf and I thing some others do not compile.
Must I change fork to vfork in these utilities or is there a workaround
I haven't seen?
nommu implies no fork() call. You must convert to vfork+exec on nommu
systems. This is not new, I believe it has always been that way.
