An announcement from the uClibc project . . .

CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of uClibc 0.9.19. This is once again primarily a bug-fix release. Several critical problems with system calls were fixed, the pthreads library was improved, debugging of applications using uClibc's pthreads library is now possible (requires compiling gdb 5.3 or newer using… uClibc), and a number of other random fixes are included. This release retains binary compatibility with uClibc 0.9.18 (except for mips, which didn't work properly with uClibc 0.9.18 anyways). Updated development systems images compiled with uClibc 0.9.19 will be released shortly.

As usual, the uClibc 0.9.19 release can be obtained here (tar.bz2 download), and the Changelogs for this release are here (Changelog) and here (Changelog.full).

About uClibc

uClibc (aka µClibc/pronounced yew-see-lib-see) is a C library for developing embedded Linux systems. It is much smaller then the GNU C Library, but nearly all applications supported by glibc also work perfectly with uClibc. Porting applications from glibc to uClibc typically involves just recompiling the source code. uClibc even supports shared libraries and threading. It currently runs on standard Linux and MMU-less (also known as µClinux) systems with support for alpha, ARM, i386, i960, h8300, m68k, mips/mipsel, PowerPC, SH, SPARC, and v850 processors.
