Description hank 2012-02-18 04:32:39 UTC
Currently when selecting a crosstool-ng-uClibc toolchain you cannot specify the uClibc config file as it is always written over by the default. This patch adds an option to the menuconfig to specify an alternative.

Actually, when selecting a crosstool-NG toolchain in 'make menuconfig', you can then run 'make ctng-menuconfig' to customize it, and specify an uclibc config-file for uClibc toolchains.

Ah ok, I wasn't aware that you could do that. 
Even though, you can't really support multiple configs using the make *_defconfig targets if you have to  manually specify the uclibc library. 
In that case I guess you can over write the default config in the toolchain dir.

The feature already exists, and the Crosstool-NG backend has been marked deprecated. I believe it's not really worth fixing this particular bug.
