uwoody is as outdated as woody. I planned on using embedded gentoo but its a bit limited (glibc is still forced to compile with -O2. Not that it makes that big of a difference but there are many other examples). Also you end up installing some things you don't want to. My last idea was to use portage simply as an up-to-date repository to download source files from. There is alot more customization possible then what you can do with 'emerge x'.
Anyhow, uclibc won't compile dillo (0.84) from my tries. I could compile xorg 6.8.2 but the fact I didn't have locales on in uclibc(which wasn't supported by gentoo-embedded) causes dillo to not compile. So I may just do the old './configure && make && make install' on all my packages.
Wish me luck <3Using uclibc as a base in no way truly breaks debian compatability... restore-dpkg (going back to more normal debian) would simply install libc6... though I don't know about libraries compiled with uclibc accessed from programs compiled with libc6... that might be the problem?
