upstream uClibc has gained support for diff binary formats, so things like shared flat should work out of the box. i'm not saying that's a direct solution here, just that if it *doesnt* work, we'd like to know so we can get the fix merged. no need for uClinux-dist-specific build hacking anymore just for this stuff ... -mike _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
