You are correct. The current uClibc CVS is not ABI compatible
with uwoody. Rebuilding the whole lot vs the new will be _much_
easier than building the whole thing in the first place.
Anyway, it all works quite well as is, so I do not plan to
rebuild it all till after mjn3 and I have the next uClibc release
out. That may be a while, given our recent work load on other
things,
