Can all gentoo users please try out ebuild from here:
     https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308477

Please thrash it and pass feedback.  Probably the default config 
creation stuff is flawed, I don't use it, so feedback appreciated.  
Please also experiment with the iconv stuff (and enable appropriate 
config options).  The patches there allow uclibc iconv and locale to 
build actually *on* a uclibc system (so you can bootstrap from 
nothing).  iconv is imperfect (git has a decent test), but shows promise

With this version of uclibc and nptl, at least on x86 I can build pretty 
much anything I tried with at most minor build tweaks needed.  Glib 
builds fine, gettext works ok (although you need to pick your version), 
I can build avahi for example (needs a bunch of tricky dependencies).  
Hardened works completely on x86 (and some others) - you will need a 
slightly tweaked gcc ebuild to unlock SSP, but even the in-tree builds 
apply PIE.  Fantastic work from the uclibc guys!

Gentoo is massively blocked on an old uclibc - please test this version 
and hopefully with some positive feedback Mike will consider pushing it 
(or Anthony Basile may push forward a simpler ebuild - either way it's a 
win)

Testing please!
