Version 0.9.9 of uClibc has been announced by 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.
