I highly recommend looking at the UClibC project. Erik's code is a pleasure to work with. http://www.uclibc.org/ It is even possible to build libstdc++ with UClibC, if you are so inclined... And, a number of commercial projects use UClibC , such as Linksys: http://lkml.org/archive/2003/6/7/164/index.html and Belkin: http://lkml.org/archive/2003/6/8/31/index.html <shameless YRO plug> -Jeff On Mon, Jun 09, 2003 at 07:37:19PM +0200, Baruch Chaikin wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm using MIPS kernel 2.4.18 with NFS file system mounted on a RedHat > machine.
