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, -Erik -- Erik B. Andersen http://codepoet-consulting.com/ --This message was written using 73% post-consumer electrons--
