That was exactly my understanding :)

Speaking of "defconfigs" I really meant something that we may use
for building our toolchain outside of Buildroot if we want something that
differs from uClibc's defaults/defconfig - and most probably we'll need something
either to add to uClibc's minimal_defconfig or exclude from _maximal_defconfig.

Otherwise how may we be in control of libc in our "reference" toolchain?
