[uClibc]uClibc development systems updated

uClibc development systems updated, arm image added
-----------------------------------------------------------

CodePoet Consulting is pleased to make available full
stand-alone uClibc based development systems for x86,
powerpc, and arm.  These ext2 filesystems contain all the
development software you need to get started building your
own applications linked against uClibc.  By using a uClibc
only system, you can avoid the painful cross-configuration
problems that have made using uClibc somewhat painful in the
past. 

If you want to begin compiling and testing things using
uClibc, but you don't feel like spending the hours it takes
to download, configure, and build binutils, gcc, g++, make,
gdb, strace, etc, then you may want to download these
development systems and give them a try.  I have tested each
one (x86, powerpc, and arm) and verified that the included
gcc and g++ compilers produce fully working uClibc linked
executables.  

Everything contained in these development system images is
dynamically linked with uClibc 0.9.17, and was compiled
using buildroot.  If you wish to build your own system,
just grab buildroot and run 'make'.

The uClibc/gcc toolchain builders were also updated, so
if you want to build your own uClibc/gcc toolchain, but you
don't want to use buildroot, grab the toolchain builders and
give them a try.

The uClibc based development systems can be obtained from:
    ftp://ftp.uclibc.org/uClibc/root_fs_0.9.17-i386.bz2
    ftp://ftp.uclibc.org/uClibc/root_fs_0.9.17-powerpc.bz2
    ftp://ftp.uclibc.org/uClibc/root_fs_0.9.17-arm.bz2

Buildroot snapshots can be obtained from 
    http://www.uclibc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/

Toolchain builder snapshots can be obtained from 
    http://www.uclibc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/toolchain/
