+ <li> <b>30 September 2003, dev systems updated to uClibc 0.9.21+</b>
+ <br>
+
+ The uClibc development systems for
+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs_i386.bz2">i386</a>,
+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs_powerpc.bz2">powerpc</a>,
+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs_arm.bz2">arm</a>,
+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs_mipsel.bz2">mips</a>,
+ have been updated to uClibc 0.9.21 (plus all the CVS updates up to
+ today). Several problems have been fixed up,
+ gcc has been updated to version 3.3.1, binutils was updated, and
+ <em>tada</em> everything finally works for cross compiling. These were
+ all cross compiled (which really makes things faster since the older
+ mipsel releases used to take 2 days to build!)
+
+ <p>
+ This is an ~100 MB ext2 filesystem that runs natively on the specified
+ architecture. It contains all the development software you need to build
+ your own uClibc applications, including bash, coreutils, findutils,
+ diffutils, patch, sed, ed, flex, bison, file, gawk, tar, grep gdb, strace,
+ make, gcc, g++, autoconf, automake, ncurses, zlib, openssl, openssh perl,
+ and more. And of course, everything is dynamically linked against uClibc.
+ By using a uClibc only system, you can avoid all the painful
+ cross-configuration problems that have made using uClibc somewhat painful
+ in the past. If you want to quickly get started with testing or using
+ uClibc you should give these images a try. You can loop mount and them
+ you can chroot into them, you can boot into with using user-mode Linux,
+ and you can even 'dd' them to a spare partition and use resize2fs to make
+ them fill the drive. Whatever works for you.
+
+ <p> If you would like to build your own custom uClibc system, you can
+ use <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">buildroot</a>, which is
+ how these uClibc development systems were created.
