RE: pushing the limits: armeb with new components

["Dan Wilder" <Dan dot Wilder at eng dot watchguard dot com>]

All those problems considered, what's your favored library?  Dietlibc? 
uClibc?

Have been wrestling with uClibc locales and armeb until blue in face ...
sigh.

I've given up trying to build/use glibc with so-called 'exotic' architectures.
ARM and MIPS are my main concern, and glibc did drop them from officially
supported architectures.

Plus glibc is a pain to configure, even when ports is not needed. And it is
badly documented (there are usefull and meaningfull config flags that are
not documented, and you have to dwelve in the code to find them).

Plus it has many limitations when it comes to embedded: you can't reliably
statically build, because even in that case you need the dynamic linker and
the NSS .so libs... Sigh...

Yann E. MORIN.
