Thanks Khem. Please forgive my ignorance here....

What other projects should I be using? The README and INSTALL does not
mention cross-compile project dependencies for the native platform. In
fact, INSTALL tells me:

  Once you have a valid configuration file, just run
    make
  to compile uClibc.

I believe I have a valid configuration (from `make menuconfig`).

Are there any detailed instructions available that I should be following?
