Indeed.  crosstool needs to add support for the 'ports' directory.
Several people have experimented with it, can't recall if
a patch has been submitted yet.
But the glibc maintainers have obviously lost interest in
embedded platforms; I guess they're ceding that space to uclibc.
Embedded glibc users who don't want to move to uclibc will
probably have to pick up the slack and increase their involvement
with the glibc project to keep it from rotting on their favorite chip.
