How much of woody did you build?

What would be required to stabilize that a bit for 1.0?  (For example, so that 
compiler options are either buffered against or defined in the makefile.  And 
so that options that affect the API put some kind of symbol or string or 
something in uclibc, ala modversions, that can easily be checked so you know 
if your binary's going to work...)

It might be nice if person A could send person B a binary compiled against 
uclibc with some chance of this working.  (Busybox has support for .debs, but 
currently if they're compiled against uclibc, why bother?)

Just curious...
