Re: gcc, binutils and uclibc of reference?

I would go personally for a 3.2 or 3.3 version. Gcc 3.X has matured and I believe it is quite a big
improvement on 3.0. It could happen that some apps do not compile correctly but I believe this
will be fixed with newer releases of the programs that don't because of the better optimalisations
you can find in gcc 3.x. The binutils usually don't give a lot of problems (at least I never had a
problem related to them, but because I do not have that much experience they could anyway)
and any recent version should do.
Uclibc is a completely other matter. The version available now is 0.9.26 and is quite stable I
believe (I'm using it now in my latest toolchain and everything seems to work) However since the
0.9.25 release they are saying they WILL be breaking binary compatibilty in the upcoming
release.

Wookey, Justin and I are working on a text about it that should be available quite soon. You
should be able to find the answers in there I hope.

On which channel? (Time to train my IRC skills in console mode because my proxy blocks it,
luckily I have an ssh link to it :) )
