What versions of linux/gcc/etc… are supported?
While we never go out of our way to break support for older versions of tools, reality is that slowly older versions fall by the wayside. Certain versions of tools will be actively supported while support for older versions will require interested parties to submit a patch. After all, validation requires a lot of effort, so it is unreasonable to ask the maintainers to validate older versions of tools when we’ve already said we don’t really care if the older versions work. The current versions of things which are actively supported: • Linux-2.4 and newer • The last two official GNU binutils releases • The last few official stable GNU gcc releases We know that people like to run older versions of Linux (such as the 2.0 and 2.2 series). If things do not work for you on those series, you will need to come up with a clean fix that can be merged into uClibc. For threading libraries, linuxthreads is planned to be maintained indefinitely so long as linux-2.4 support is active. After that, it w
