Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net anyone who uses buildroot to build for a BBB will probably know the answers to this instantly. did a "git clone" of buildroot, and did nothing more than: $ make beaglebone_defconfig $ make so, basically, all the defaults, worked fine. so now i'm looking at my config options and want to know how far i can push a BBB build to the bleeding edge, and about the BBB defaults. first, i notice that the default build for BBB uses uClibc rather than glibc, which is easy enough to adjust, but i'm curious as to why something like a BBB doesn't have glibc as the default C library to use. also, for bleeding edge, can anyone verify whether i'm safe pushing the versions of everything right to the latest? you know: * kernel 4.0.x * glibc 2.21 * binutils 2.25 * gcc 4.9.x and so on, and so on. any other BBB issues anyone wants to warn me about before i go charging off in that direction? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
