(or whatever is appropriate for your target architecture) and your
applications will auto-magically link against uClibc. You can also
build your own native uClibc toolchain. Just download the uClibc toolchain

+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-powerpc.bz2">powerpc</a>,
+ and
+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-arm.bz2">arm</a>.
+ These are pre-built uClibc only development systems (created using
+ <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">buildroot</a>), and provide a
+ really really easy way to get started. These are about 20 MB bzip2
+ compressed ext2 filesystems containing all the development software you
+ need to build your own uClibc applications. With bash, awk, make, gcc, g++,
+ autoconf, automake, ncurses, zlib, openssl, openssh, gdb, strace, busybox,
+ GNU coreutils, GNU tar, GNU grep, etc, these should have pretty much everything
+ you need to get started building your own applications linked against
+ uClibc. You can boot into them, loop mount them, dd them to a spare drive
+ and use resize2fs to make them fill a partition... Whatever works best
+ for you.
