K. I didn't even consider it an option.

uClinux "uC-libc" is maintained (just like the kernel) by us. Rt-Control
provides commercial support for uClinux, so you know that it's not going
away. It's design goals are different than glibc, small is the order of the
day, but it is none the less complete enough to compile a good many things.
When we find something that does not compile, it gets updated :-)

These are static linked, right off a uCsimm.
