-
-    CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
-    uClibc 0.9.23.  Of course, we are somewhat less than pleased that there
-    were configuration problems in the previous release that made such it
-    necessary to release .23 so quickly.  Updated uClibc development systems
-    using uClibc 0.9.23 are being built and will be posted shortly.  And Erik
-    has built Debian stable (woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great.
-
-    <p>
     
-    This release continues to be binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 and
-    0.9.22 -- as long as you pick compatible configuration options.  Enabling
-    or disabling things like soft-float, locale, wide char support, or changing
-    cpu optimizations are all good examples of binary incompatible
-    configuration options.  If have changed any of those sorts of options (or
-    if you are not sure!) you will need to recompile all your applications and
-    libraries.

-    and is looking quite solid.  We have done quite a lot of testing with this
-    release and things are looking good.  And Erik has built Debian stable
-    (woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great.  Expect that to be released

-    have been updated to uClibc 0.9.21 (plus all the CVS updates up to
-    today).  Several problems have been fixed up,
-    gcc has been updated to version 3.3.1, binutils was updated to 2.14.90.0.6, and
-    <em>tada</em> everything finally works for cross compiling.  These were
-    all cross compiled (which really makes things faster since the older
-    mipsel releases used to take 2 days to build!)
-
-    <p>
-    These are ~100 MB ext2 filesystems that run natively on the specified
-    architecture.  They contains all the development software you need to build
-    your own uClibc applications, including bash, coreutils, findutils,
-    diffutils, patch, sed, ed, flex, bison, file, gawk, tar, grep gdb, strace,
-    make, gcc, g++,  autoconf, automake, ncurses, zlib, openssl, openssh perl, 
-    and more.   And of course, everything is dynamically linked against uClibc.  
-    By using a uClibc only system, you can avoid all the painful
-    cross-configuration problems that have made using uClibc somewhat painful
-    in the past.  If you want to quickly get started with testing or using
-    uClibc you should give these images a try.  You can loop mount and them
-    you can chroot into them, you can boot into with using user-mode Linux, 
-    and you can even 'dd' them to a spare partition and use resize2fs to make 
-    them fill the drive.  Whatever works for you.
-
-    <p> If you would like to build your own custom uClibc system, you can
-	use <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">buildroot</a>, which is
-	how these uClibc development systems were created.
