hi ulrich,

seems you are using an old CVS snapshot. get a new one. do a make install
as root and change the $PATH enviroment to look in
/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/bin for you compiling shell. no need to change the
CC enviroment any more. if you call gcc, the wrapper is called instead of
your gcc in /usr/bin.

i succeeded in compiling a bunch of programs from userland. most times, i
needed to include some header files to get it run.

i dont know, who maintains the stuff from userland. i guess, you'll have
to do your own patches (@all: correct me if i am wrong).

maybe its even the wrong mailinglist to discuss this stuff.
