Is it still the case that changing options in the Config will
cause binary incompatibilities?  I have no problem with this
by itself, but if there's going to be a "standard" ABI, it
would be nice to have the exact specifications of this
documented somewhere.  (With prodding, I can help with this.)

Also, as the maintainer of the Debian uclibc packages, I
strongly suggest changing the soname.  (Especially to one
that, say, doesn't conflict with glibc on the Hurd.)

By the way, does ld-uClibc support versioned symbols?
