Package: uclibc-toolchain Version: 0.9.27-1 Severity: normal The toolchain should be named i386-linux-uclibc and not i386-uclibc-linux, as is currently done.
I think the i386-uclibc-linux toolchain was accidentally misnamed. buildroot [1], the uClibc toolchain distribution tool, calls the toolchain xxx-linux-uclibc, not xxx-uclibc-linux. Consider that in xxx-linux-gnu the -gnu part stands for glibc. Now replace the -gnu with -uclibc for a uClibc toolchain. You can also play with config.sub to see this effect: $ /usr/share/misc/config.sub i386-uclibc-linux i386-uclibc-linux-gnu $ /usr/share/misc/config.sub i386-linux-uclibc i386-pc-linux-uclibc The latter config name is correct.
