Can anyone give me an explanation (or just a link, google is not helping me) to what ELIX is (as in the ELIX level 2, ELIX level 4 defines and guards in newlib)?
Thanks,
-Richard Campbell.

It vaeugly appears on the horizon as something thats used by redhat
under Newlib -- apparently its a check-bound system?

IIRC, elix was an early aborted foray into an embedded version of linux
which used newlib as its libc. I remember it being mentioned a lot when
I was at Cygnus/Red Hat and then, as with many projects at Red Hat,
vanishing with a *poof*.

Not /entirely/ vanished:
http://sourceware.org/elix/
... but not updated in a looong time.

Well, no. It obviously didn't entirely vanish or people wouldn't be
asking why it was in newlib.
I asked Jeff Johnston if I could delete it from newlib once and he
told me that it still had some use. I don't remember what that was
though.

Yeh, I remember that thread. I never knew there was a homepage and a spec
document kicking around though.
