I noticed in your July 
13th blog entry that you've hit the uClibc static segfaulting bug.  I'm 
really surprised no one fixed this before because it was the first thing 
I did with my first uClibc toolchain.  'int main(){return 0;}' is like 
the Ur-loWorld of toolchainery, especially when one is concerned with 
static-binary-byte-bloat which seems to be an obsession of uClibbers.

Anyway, that was about 4 days ago so you've probably fixed it by now, 
but just in case you haven't I'm passing along my patch for it.  (Not to 
worry, I haven't released anything yet so there's no GPL violation, and 
I'm hereby putting my patch into the public domain in case you want to 
submit it to uClibc)
