+    <li> <b>8 November 2002, uClibc 0.9.16 Released</b>
+    <br>
+
+    CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
+    uClibc 0.9.16.  This release adds full support (including a native shared
+    library loader) for the CRIS architecture, contributed by Tobias Anderberg.
+    Stefan Allius contributed a number of patches to fix the initialization
+    order for shared library global constructors and destructors as well as a
+    large number of SuperH fixes and cleanups.  uClibc now compiles with
+    newer versions of gcc (i.e. RedHat 8.0).  Thanks to Christian Michon,
+    uClibc no longer requires perl to compile.  Steven J. Hill fixed dlopen for
+    mips.  Several problems with pty and tty handling were fixed.  Manuel Novoa
+    added new support for an /etc/TZ file to globally set the system timezone,
+    and fixed up a number of remaining wide char issues.  Manuel is still hard
+    at work on bringing full locale support (optional of course) to uClibc.
+    And of course, this release includes the usual pile of bug fixes.  Many thanks
+    for the large number of patches and fixes that were contributed!
+    <p>
+
+    Erik and Manuel have been working on a 
+    <a href="downloads/Glibc_vs_uClibc_Differences.txt">
+    document describing some of the differences between uClibc and glibc.</a>
+    It's not yet 100% complete, and it hasn't been nicely formatted yet.  But
+    it contains a lot of helpful information and is worth a look.
+    <p>
+
+    And finally, the the old uClibc configuration system has been completely
+    removed (and there was much rejoicing).  It was replaced with an entirely
+    new system based on <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~zippel/lc/">LinuxKernelConf</a>, 
+    which has since been included into Linux 2.5.45, so it looks like Erik made 
+    the right choice.  Of course, those who have existing build systems using uClibc 
+    will need to make a few changes...  We think the change is worth it.
+    <p>
+    As usual, the 
+    <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/Changelog">Changelog</a>
+    and <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/uClibc-0.9.16.tar.bz2">source code</a> 
+    for this release are available <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/">here</a>.
+    You might want to download uClibc from the closest 
+    <a href="http://kernel.org/mirrors/">kernel.org mirror site</a>.
+    Just pick the closest mirror site, and then go to 
+    <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/">
+    http://www.XX.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/</a>
+    to download uClibc, where XX is your two letter country code.
+    <p>
+    Updated gcc-3.2 and gcc-2.95 toolchains will be released shortly. 
+    <p>
+
+
+    <p>
+    <li> <b>16 September 2002, gcc-3.2 and gcc-2.95 toolchains released</b>
+    <br>
+
+    CodePoet Consulting (i.e. Erik) has released updated gcc-3.2 and gcc-2.95
+    uClibc toolchains.  These toolchains build real gcc cross compilers (i.e.
+    not just a wrapper) and create executables linked vs uClibc.   The new
+    gcc-3.2 provides uClibc support with the latest and greatest compiler
+    available from the gcc team.  The gcc-2.95 toolchain has been updated to
+    the latest version of uClibc and now provides full C++ support, using the
+    <a href="http://www.stlport.org/">STLport</a> standard C++ library.
+    <p>
+
+    This toolchain should make it easy for anyone to build uClibc based 
+    applications.  <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/toolchain/">
+    Source code can be downloaded here</a>. 
+    Be aware that much of the needed source code will actually be downloaded on
+    when you compile the toolchains.  To build a toolchain, simply
+    grab the source, edit the Makefile to select where you would like
+    the toolchain installed, run 'make', and then go watch TV, eat
+    dinner, or visit with your friends while it compiles.  It takes
+    about 15 minutes for Erik to compile the gcc-3.2 toolchain (w/C++ support)
+    on his Athlon XP 1600 (not counting the time it takes to download
+    source code).
