[uClibc]uClibc 0.9.12 released

[Erik Andersen]

CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate
availability of uClibc 0.9.12. This release adds an i960 port, an
initial alpha port, fully working mips shared library support
(both big and little endian), shared library support fixes for on
powerpc, and many other improvements. One very exciting new
feature is nearly complete locale support, thanks to a lot of
hard work by Manuel Novoa III.  uClibc's locale support is much
smaller than glibc's, though it is also slightly less flexible.
This release was delayed by a month due to the arrival of a new
baby at Erik's house. For those that have been anxiously waiting,
this release should certainly be worth the wait.

The uClibc 0.9.12 release can be obtained from:
    http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/uClibc-0.9.12.tar.bz2

The native uClibc/gcc toolchains will be updated for the 
0.9.12 release and made available later today

About uClibc:

    uClibc (aka µClibc/pronounced yew-see-lib-see) is a C library for
    developing embedded Linux systems. It is much smaller then the
    GNU C Library, but nearly all applications supported by glibc
    also work perfectly with uClibc. Porting applications from glibc
    to uClibc typically involves just recompiling the source code.
    uClibc even supports shared libraries and threading. It currently
    runs on standard Linux and MMU-less (also known as µClinux)
    systems with support for alpha, ARM, i386, i960, h8300, m68k,
    mips/mipsel, PowerPC, SH, SPARC, and v850 processors.

Have fun!
