Hi Denys,
I packaged uClibc on openSUSE back in the days when I still worked at SUSE. My
primary concern was to use uClibc to build static binaries of busybox and some
other essentials that I needed to create a really small boot environment.
Installing a cross-toolchain was not an option back then, I was told so. So I
started by reading the mailing list about uClibc and compiling with native gcc.
In the end I came up with a little script that uses gcc supplied with openSUSE
and overrides all kinds of default paths to use uClibc headers and stuff.
That worked to the extend that I could compile busybox statically. I failed to
get shared library support working but that wasn't my main focus. Let me attach
the script so you can have a look at it. I'd be happy to get some feedback,
knowing this won't be your prefered way of dealing with this ;-) This will need
some tweaking for using it in Fedora of course, it's just meant to get an idea.
Thanks!
Stefan
