10 Hi, uclibc can break if you don't do a binary compatible upgrade.
11 Because it's so configurable, it's much easier to break it if you
12 accidently change something in the config which has big implications.
13 For example I think it proved very difficult to switch uclibc from non
14 hardened to hardened because it breaks before you can re-install?

16 Additionally, I forget the details now, but I think this bug hit some
17 people before - not sure if it's properly resolved in current uclibc either?

21 It's not something I recall running into though, so possibly a config
22 change has caused / will rectify things?
