Well we have more cases, so it won't be as simple as that: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
we could have: |
| 31 |
1. native: host arch-glibc to target arch-glibc |
| 32 |
2. cross to alternative arch: host arch-glibc to target altarch-glibc |
| 33 |
2. cross to uclibc: host arch-gclibc to target arch-uclibc |
| 34 |
3. cross to alt arch and uclibc: host arch-glibc to target altarch-uclibc |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
the same could be repeated based on host arch-uclibc (or any other lib, |
| 37 |
like newlib,dietlibc) |
