  Log Message:
  -----------
  Restore uClibc samples.

Commit 1a25115a1851d3defdf4d37825d8a291be078e53 deleted non-GCC related
files, including the patch for uClibc to compile with Linux kernels after
3.4.

uClibc 0.9.30 patches are not restored by this change (0.9.30 is broken
with recent kernels for multiple other breakages in addition to that; if
not retired, it needs to be fixed properly).

You should just remove support for any uClibc version that isn't the
latest. Even 0.9.33.2 is 3 years old.

Unless you want to support people who try to build a toolchain that has
a C library matching the one they have on their existing platform
(router, etc.). But it's a rather clunky exercise IMO.

Best regards,

Thomas

Fair enough! I'm getting close to completing testing of uClibc-ng-
1.0.8. I'll remove 0.9.32.2 with the "version bump". ;)

If users of crosstool-ng really need an older version of uClibc, they
can always use an older branch of crosstool-ng!

If any version of uClibc should be kept, it's 0.9.33.2. I was mainly
talking about all the older versions.
