I've been using pdclib for my tiny ARM systems; uclibc is a linux C library, and even newlib requires significant underlying support (it requires malloc, for instance). It's a lot more like the C library provided with sdcc or avr-libc. So, any compiler package will need to allow for a variety of C libraries at the very least. > The idea would be to include this package in the upcoming Wheezy > release (if we dont miss the freeze deadline). That would be great, of course, but doesn't leave a lot of time. -keith
