[Buildroot] Buildroot for ARM (big endian) and glibc support

[Thomas Ostrowski]

Hi,

I've had Buildroot running on ARM Xscale big endian with Kernel 2.6.18 
and uclibc.
Now I need to change the uclibc to glibc.
So how do I can manage to add glibc support to Buildroot ?
Is there an easy way to do it ?

Thanx

You are better of with a distribution which supports glibc from the start like ptxdist..

... but which does not support uclibc, which might make porting harder ...
(also documentation is sparse)

I said that uclibc was not supported by PTXdist due to the following:

Note that uclibc is currently unsupported by PTXdist. We didn't manage
to port that old patches forward to the latest crosstool versions.
