 Description: A compiler wrapper for uClibc
- This is a small wrapper for gcc, ld, and other toolchain utilities
- to do compilation against uClibc instead of the native libc.
- This package is used for cross compiling.
+ This package includes utilities that function as a toolchain for
+ compiling with uClibc instead of the native libc.  The utilities
+ have names such as powerpc-uclibc-gcc (depending on the architecture),
+ and should behave identically to the base utilities, except that
+ they use headers and libraries provided in the libuclibc-dev_TARGET_
+ package.  Most utilities are symbolic links to the correct underlying
+ utility, although gcc and ld are implemented as wrapper binaries that
+ call gcc and ld with the necessary arguments and command line options.
