Which isn't supported.  The first "production" release of uClibc was pretty 
much 0.9.26.  The stuff before that was really buggy and had a list of apps 
that were expected to work becuase most apps were _not_ expected to work.

That's why all the pre-0.9.26 releases were moved to the "old-releases" 
directory on uClibc.org.  (The only reason that 0.9.26 wasn't called 1.0 is 
they haven't frozen the binary API yet.)

Yup, we're using something it hasn't got working.  This is a uClibc problem 
which the uClibc guys have long since fixed.

Disable the apps that don't run, or upgrade to a newer version of uClibc.
