It seems Extremadura does not require attendees to DD's, so this should
not a problem. You are also clearly not the only one interested in
uClibc.

Even in scratchbox we want to get rid of maintaining compilers, so easy
generation of crosscompilers from standard Debian packages would be
nice.

Using stable uclibc probably makes more sense, like others already said.
Even then, managing dist-upgrade's when new uClibc versions get released
might be tricky.

Can you brief us on these problems? I think EABI port might hit these
too..
And altough this is important, currently I'm most interested in hearing
about who would be interested in coming to Extremadura to get stuff done
:)
