There's another fundamental problem, which is that packages built against uClibc really need to be built against a complete uClibc environment. Cross-compiling uClibc packages (i386-glibc -> i386-uclibc) works sometimes, but has most of the general cross compiling issues.
Which are eminently solvable, I might point out. Only wimps are afraid of cross-compiling :-) Oh, ok, it *is* hard to take an existing build system like Debian's and make it cross-compile-clean; each package needs updating. It's a can of worms, as David points out. For what it's worth, I've been very impressed with ptxdist, a tiny distribution devoted to the idea that *every* package should cross-compile. You *can* compile ptxdist natively, but only by using the native toolchain as if it were a cross-compiler! It also provides very fine-grained control over what gets put into the target filesystem. I encourage you to check it out; it's always good to know your competition. - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045
