anyone who uses buildroot to build for a BBB will probably know the
answers to this instantly.
did a "git clone" of buildroot, and did nothing more than:
$ make beaglebone_defconfig
$ make
so, basically, all the defaults, worked fine. so now i'm looking at my
config options and want to know how far i can push a BBB build to the
bleeding edge, and about the BBB defaults.
first, i notice that the default build for BBB uses uClibc rather
than glibc, which is easy enough to adjust, but i'm curious as to why
something like a BBB doesn't have glibc as the default C library to
use.
also, for bleeding edge, can anyone verify whether i'm safe pushing
the versions of everything right to the latest? you know:
* kernel 4.0.x
* glibc 2.21
* binutils 2.25
* gcc 4.9.x
and so on, and so on. any other BBB issues anyone wants to warn me
about before i go charging off in that direction? thanks.
