[Buildroot] Buildroot shared uclibc native compiler only links statically

[PHilip RUshik]

Hello,
If I build a buildroot system with uClibc as a shared library and with a
native compiler, the resulting native compiler works great most of the
time, but it always links with the static libc.a instead of the shared
library. Why does this happen, anybody know how to fix that?

Thanks

 This has just been solved on the list (but no patch is committed yet).
Basically, the problem is that the symlink of /usr/lib/libc.so to 
/lib/libc.so.0 isn't included in the target directory.

 As a workaround, you can create that link manually:
ln -s /lib/libc.so.0 target/usr/lib/libc.so

 Arnout

Ok, awesome, I was hoping for something easy like that.
I tried to make a symlink in /usr/lib before, but I called it libc.so.0
like the one in /lib. Oops.
Thank you.
