eglibc and glibc have been in sync since the beginning.  The only remaining 
difference between glibc and eglibc is the configurable libc interface. 
(Ability to change the configuration.)  Last time we discussed this, we were 
still trying to determine if we (OE) were going to try to keep that 
configuration active, or if were were going to go to a different libc for 'tiny' 
systems.

I don't believe a final decision has been made, but one way or another we will 
be moving to 'glibc' in the future.

My understanding is that eglibc 2.19 is still 'alive' and maintained, but will 
be the last version.
