The uClibc book is in much better shape now. There are a few new patches for bug fixes (Gettext). All the test suites are terrible, but that's not new.
I want to update the rest of the packages... there's a new shadow-utils release. I've always neglected everything outside of the toolchain, so I want to add Libcap. There are recently maintained Libcap packages for linux-2.6. Libcap can be used with ping and ping6 to drop the suid bit. It can probably also be used with the /bin/dd used by sysklogd to drop privileges. The shadow-utils howto describes setting up a shadow group so /bin/passwd does not have to be suid root, if I remember correctly. Any other ideas? robert
