I'll agree with that too while we're at it :) > Ok, then how can I test uclibc _before_ I install it? > I can build it becuase I have correctly set up KERNEL_HEADERS="xxx", > but "make check" does not work. > > > You have to have a properly installed set of kernel-headers before > > you build the libc, really. > > This adds yet another step into cross-compilation. That step was always there if you want to bootstrap everything from source. > Up to today, I was able to: > 1. build+install cross-compiling toolchain, You can't do that without lk headers and at least a 'bootstrap' build of the C lib headers. You might be able to 'cheat' and start from some package someone else made, but _someone_ needs to provide this before you can build a working toolchain. This isn't step 1. > 2. build+install uclibc, ... so you should already have them by the time you get to this point. > 3. build+install userspace, > > and now I need to add > 2.5 install kernel headers No. This is step 1. Step 2 is bootstrap the libc headers. Step 3 is build a bootstrap compiler. Then you get to build libc before going back to the top to build a real compiler. > Can I have an option to not do it?

For any vaguely current kernel this probably isn't a wheel that we should be reinventing. Am I missing something about why that doesn't work for you?
