Right now, uClibc doesn't support all of Debian's archs. sparc is in progress.
Not started are alpha, and powerpc. Getting these ports done shouldn't be too
hard (it only takes a few files, most of which I can steal and adjust from
glibc). The size savings are substantial. Using uClibc as a shared library
(btw, it works as a shared library) it is only about 170k (without doing any
library reduction -- using mklibs.sh could reduce that quite a bit further).
