I think you might have misunderstood my report: I did not say that the toolchain failed to build (since it's a pre-built toolchain!) but that the toolchain is not capable of building gdb, weston and civetweb. > I don't agree on moving away from uclibc all together. > Buildroot supports uclibc AND uclibc-ng. > I think crosstools-ng needs to do the same. > I'm not sure whether there'll ever be another uclibc release, but the > current git tree surely has way more added features and their mailing > list is very active. And all those changes in the 'master' branch of uClibc are regularly merged in uClibc-ng. So basically uClibc-ng is *everything* that uClibc has, plus much better testing, and regular stable releases. In Buildroot, we currently support both. Our plan is to use uClibc-ng as the default uClibc version in Buildroot 2015.08, and if things continue to go well with uClibc-ng, deprecate old uClibc completely.
