[Buildroot] glibc instead of ulibc ?

Hello,

Again, please don't reply to me directly, but to the list instead.

It won't work. You *have* to use the compiler generated by Buildroot,
otherwise you'll face an horrible number of ABI issues and other
compatibility problems.

What is the compilation process for Pascal code with Freepascal? Can't
you tell it to use another compiler? Or is this thing a fork from gcc?
Or does it have its own compiler? If you don't look at these in
details, you will never manage to do anything.

That said, you seem to be horrified by GUI development using Qt. Have
you ever tried it for real? It is really simple and nice, so you should
at least give it a try. I think it's a much much better option for
embedded development that this Freepascal/Lazarus stuff.

Best regards,

Thomas
