The preferred approach is to fix those packages requiring the LEGACY MACROS.

Hi Atle,

As I remember by previous discussion on mailing list the intention is totally
get rid of SUSV3_LEGACY_MACROS - that's why it is disabled by default.

As I understand correct solution is to fix those packages not to use deprecated functions.
Some packages already fixed this way - search for ***SUSV3.patch in packages/ - but not all.

OK, message taken. There are still some packages that need to be fixed (like 
Boa). Are any of these patches sent upstream?

Unfortunately some people do not use the commonly used string
"susv.*legacy" for these patches. This is inconsistent and should be
fixed.

Which says:

make UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE=/my/uClibc.config

Yes, I know...
