[Buildroot] glibc vs. uclibc

[Buildroot] glibc vs. uclibc

[Bill Somerville]

Hi

I am forced to use glibc by a closed source package from Intel (IPP) so
I am having to use a rather dated patch from the crosstool project to
hack with the buildroot package. This is very unsatisfactory as the
patch only applies cleanly to a very old revision of buildroot.

Is there fresher way of using buildroot with glibc?

Buildroot started life as a test harness for uClibc.  It's maintained by the 
uClibc developers as a way of generating uClibc toolchains for various 
platforms, and building packages against uClibc.  It was only about a month 
ago that buildroot got its own mailing list rather than using the uclibc 
mailing list, and said mailing list is still "buildroot at uclibc.org".

Did this answer your question?
