uClibc-ng-1.0.33 in TC11?

(1/1)

nick65go:
Which programs are generated and linked with uClibc-ng-1.0.33 in TC11_x64?I saw it in Index of /11.x/x86_64/release/src/toolchain/
I did not find any details (on this wbe-site) about why uclib is now used. I expected maybe "musl libc".(but then musl + busybox + auto-build for_ANY_packages were in Apline linux main target for years).

Juanito:
Just ldconfig, which is statically linked.

nick65go:
OK, thanks. But i do not see it in Index of /11.x/x86/release/src/toolchain/. should be here also?  Why not use musl lib, which is specially designed for static linking in programs? We talk here about X64, so not too much size gain/constrains.
my undestanding is that musl is both libc + link loader. so open a wide world of other (small) programs in tcz collection.

Juanito:
As mentioned in the 11.1 release notes, ldconfig was only updated for 64-bit - since the 32-bit ldconfig did not give errors and was smaller than the new version, it was not updated.

There no plans to increase the use of uClibc.

curaga:
musl in general? Because it's not as compatible as glibc. For ldconfig specifically? We don't know if musl ldconfig is compatible with glibc, it's unlikely it is.
