Version 0.9.12 of uClibc has been announced by Erik Andersen . . .

CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of uClibc 0.9.12. This release adds an i960 port, an initial alpha port, fully working mips shared library support (both big and little endian), shared library support fixes for on powerpc, and many other improvements. One very exciting new feature is nearly complete locale support, thanks to a lot of hard work by Manuel Novoa III. uClibc's locale support is much smaller than glibc's, though it is also slightly less flexible. This release was delayed by a month due to the arrival of a new baby at Erik's house. For those that have been anxiously waiting, this release should certainly be worth the wait.
