So if my intent is to use the uClibc library exclusively on a given
platform, there is no need for multilib support in the toolchain,
correct?
I just saw in the .config file for buildroot that some features are
only tested with multilib enabled. I guess I won't worry about it
until I run into problems.
I am assuming that including multilib support is likely to increase
the size of the executables. So I'd rather not use it.
