Well, someone needs to look into those issues and find the solutions. I can certainly cook some patches, but I don't have a hardware platform to test things on. If you're willing to do some testing+debugging, then we could try to work together on this. But I'd like first to hear about the status of Gustavo's work, as I'd prefer to avoid duplicating his work. > When I searched the internet, I found various sites concerning > uCLinux on ARM, even with uCLibc.

Most likely from uClinux-dist, which has been for a while the reference Linux distribution for noMMU platforms. Unfortunately, it is no longer that well maintained.
