[Buildroot] buildroot using glibc

That information would be helpful for me also. With a design that uses a
256M byte NAND Flash, I have less of an issue with building an tiny RFS.
I still like using busybox, though from a file maintenance standpoint.

Subject: [Buildroot] buildroot using glibc


hi,
  I want to use buildroot built using glibc instead of ulibc. I have
gone through entire mailing list archeive, but nowhere I am not getting
any information or link to get patch for glibc. Can anyone provide any
refernce for the patch so that buildroot can be used with glibc.

What benefit do you see in using glibc?

thanks,

The simplest solution is to use an external toolchain. I already used a
Codesource glibc-based toolchain with Buildroot, and it worked nicely.
The only needed modification were :

 * Modifications to get external toolchains to work (I have sent a
   patch recently for this)

 * Specifying the proper values for the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_LIB_C and
   BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_LIBS configuration variables.

If you want to *generate* a glibc-toolchain with Buildroot, it is
probably going to be a more tedious work. But if you happen to do that,
please submit patches!

Sincerly,

Thomas
