Either way, it's not sounding like something I can grab and build uClibc systems with any time soon, the way I could use Mazur's headers to build uClibc. I'll probably wind up using the gentoo headers when the 2.6.14 version ships.

That's the trouble. While I have nothing against someone (as in -- not me :) doing all that abi separation, it's not something I can use straight away. Hell, I don't even get where in all of it I'd end up with something I could use (granted, I haven't looked into the thread too closely). Not to mention, that I suspect, that if there were enough people to do it, it would have gotten done two years ago.

So unless anybody's got a better idea, I'll try releasing some initial version of that llh-ng thingie rather soonish and see how that'll work out. Anybody with me on that? :)

I agree with this approach. I don't think the llh-ng method will be maintainable in the long-term, which is why I'm doing the KABI patches, but I think that in the short term that's the fastest way to get a working set of headers against which to build glibc.
