(certainly I am more > interested in server packages than desktop packages) I think Ubuntu has enabled it too. But I don't know how well or bad are packages usually supported upstream.. I have run an apache2 server and a verlihub server with the toolchain without issues, but I can't gurantee you nothing as the server still hasn't had heavy load. >> Anyway, at least on the overlay uclibc is still not supported :( >> http://github.com/Xake/toolchain-overlay/blob/54581c25b74be5a5dc3d8c1de61dba55db7c639f/README > > Does Xake hang out here?

I don't know the reasons for uclibc being not supported, but I think it was because of some compilation problems. (Can't find the tickets, sorry).
