There's a comment about that in one of the angstrom files about (possible) needing a uclibc-initial as well. Since uclibc is rather 'dumb' and doesn't do nptl i hasn't been a problem yet, but 0.9.30 is scheduled to have nptl support for arm, ppc and sh, so we probably need to revamp uclibc support... regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFH1eR3MkyGM64RGpERAp2gAJ9QmhzayJvzzxYJceAyCbPzj18fDwCfR4VA sN1QuQ4KCbkpFYKlyll54WQ= =evJc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
