-    CodePoet Consulting has released source code and a Makefile
-    to build a gcc-3.0.4 toolchain that natively targets uClibc.
-    This brings with it full C++ support for uClibc, including the 
-    libstdc++ library.  A gcc-2.95.x toolchain will also be released 
-    shortly, but is not yet ready.  At this time, only source code and
-    a Makefile for the native uClibc toolchain is being released (i.e.
-    no binaries, sorry).  Source code can be downloaded 
-    <a href="downloads/toolchain/">here</a>,

-    <br>
-
-    CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate
-    availability of uClibc 0.9.10. This release adds pthreads support
-    (including pthreads support for mmu-less systems!).  Additionally,
-    thanks to Manuel Novoa III, we now have a completely new stdio
-    library, which is small, standards compliant, supports pthreads,
-    wide/narrow streams, large files, and can even operate in a
-    low-memory unbuffered mode.  Many, many bugs have been fixed and a
-    number of additional applications now compile and run perfectly.
-    Even with all these changes, uClibc continues to be very small.
-    On x86, a default build of the uClibc C library is still just 168k.
-
-    <p>
-
-    To make things more interesting, the release also adds support for
-    C++ constructors and destructors.  To make it easy to use uClibc
-    when developing C++ applications, this release also provides a 
-    wrapper for the GNU C++ compiler.  Of course, for more complex C++
-    applications, such as those using iostreams, a standard C++ library
-    (libstdc++) is required.  A native GNU toolchain (binutils/gcc) that
-    provides libstdc++ linked with uClibc 0.9.10 will be released in the
-    next couple of days, so stay tuned.

-    there are now so many programs on the working application list that 
-    rather than continue to add to this list, from now on we 
-    will only be adding applications to the <em>not working list</em>.  Most applications 
-    on the <em>not working list</em> either require pthreads, or require 
-    wide-character support.  Work on wide-character support is
-    well underway, and will hopefully be moving into CVS in the next week or
