What happened to the old toolchain wrapper?
It is possible in some limited cases to re-use an existing glibc toolchain and subvert it into building uClibc binaries by using gcc commands such as “-nostdlib” and “-nostdinc”. In fact, this used to be the recommended method for compiling programs with uClibc, and we made this easy to do by providing a uClibc toolchain wrapper, which attempted to automagically subvert an existing glibc toolchain. This toolchain wrapper was removed from uClibc 0.9.22, and it will not be coming back. This is because it proved impossible to completely subvert an existing toolchain in many cases, and therefore proved to be a real maintainence burder. As uClibc became more capable, the many problems with re-using an existing glibc toolchain led us to conclude that the only safe and sane way to build uClibc binaries was to use a uClibc toolchain. Some discussion on the reasoning behind this decision can be found here: http://www.uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2003-October/007315.html in the uClibc mailing list ar
