uClibc was built with: make ARCH_CFLAGS= 'CPU_CFLAGS=-mthumb -march=armv7
-mfix-cortex-m3-ldrd'
App was built with: arm-uclinuxeabi-gcc -c -g -mthumb -march=armv7
-mfix-cortex-m3-ldrd -O0 -Wl,-elf2flt,--static  main.c
arm-uclinuxeabi-gcc -Wl,-elf2flt,--static  main.o
-L../arm-2010q1/arm-uclinuxeabi/libc/thumb2/usr/lib -lpthread -o zpm_thread
where all original uclibc libraries from toolchain were replaced with newly
built ones:
