[uClibc]uClibc 0.9.10 released

[Erik Andersen]

CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate
availability of uClibc 0.9.10. This release adds pthreads support
(including pthreads support for mmu-less systems!).  Additionally,
thanks to Manuel Novoa III, we now have a completely new stdio
library, which is small, standards compliant, supports pthreads,
wide/narrow streams, large files, and can even operate in a
low-memory unbuffered mode.  Many, many bugs have been fixed and a
number of additional applications now compile and run perfectly.
Even with all these changes, the uClibc continues to be very small.
On x86, a default build of the uClibc C library is still just 168k.

To make things more interesting, the release also adds support for
C++ constructors and destructors.  To make it easy to use uClibc
when developing C++ applications, this release also provides a
wrapper for the GNU C++ compiler.  Of course, for more complex C++
applications, such as those using iostreams, a standard C++ library
(libstdc++) is required.  A native GNU toolchain (binutils/gcc) that
provides libstdc++ linked with uClibc 0.9.10 will be released in the
next couple of days, so stay tuned.
