Please guys,
let's work together to improve further uClibc, without spending so much in discussions regarding
the numbering policy, that is anyway a important part of the release strategy.
I agree with Bernhard's current strategy. I'd suggest to include the prelink stuff in 0.9.33, so we can create
a rc1 once prelink will start to get merged, and continue with SUSv4 audit.
So we will have 0.9.32 -> NPTL, 0.9.33 -> prelink, keeping invasive changes separated.
Cheers,
Carmelo
