-Please Note:
-
- There is an unwholesomely huge amount of code out there
- that depends on the presence of GNU libc header files.
- We have GNU libc compatible header files. So we have
- committed a horrible sin in uClibc. We _lie_ and claim
- to be GNU libc in order to force these applications to
- work as their developers intended. This is IMHO,
- pardonable, since these defines are not really intended
- to check for the presence of a particular library, but
- rather are used to define an _interface_. Some programs
- are especially chummy with glibc, and may need this
- behavior disabled by adding CFLAGS+=-D__FORCE_NOGLIBC
-
- If you want to make special exceptions in your code which are
- specifically for uClibc, you can make certain to include features.h,
- and then have your code check for uClibc as follows:
-
- #ifdef __UCLIBC__
- do_something_special();
- #endif
