    Standard init, or busybox' ?

    In crosstool-NG, there's a sample that is quite up-to-date and that
    builds
    an arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi:
    # ct-ng show-arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
    arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi  [l  ]
       OS             : linux-2.6.31.12
       Companion libs : gmp-4.3.1 mpfr-2.4.2 libelf-0.8.12
       binutils       : binutils-2.19.1
       C compiler     : gcc-4.3.2 (C,C++,Fortran,Java)
       C library      : glibc-2.9
       Tools          : sstrip dmalloc-5.5.2 duma-2_5_15 gdb-6.8
    ltrace-0.5.3 strace-4.5.19

    Ahem. Right, sorry.

    I'll read you back on crossgcc... :-)



It happens with both busybox and standard init.

Compilation of crossgcc with EABI work OK, but than I got this 
segmentation fault issue...

It looks like glibc does not work at all with buildroot right now. 
Should I open a bug ticket or something?
