  29. help
  30. If you answer Y here, all unresolved functions provided by the libgcc
  31. library that are used by uClibc will be added directly into the
  32. uClibc library. If your gcc compiler only provides a static libgcc
  33. library, then enabling this option can reduce the size of your
  34. binaries by preventing these functions from being staticly linked
  35. into every binary. If you have compiled uClibc as PIC code, one
  36. potential size effect of this option is that you may end up adding
  37. non-PIC libgcc code into your shared uClibc library, resulting in a
  38. non shareable text segment (thereby wasting a bunch of ram). If your
  39. compiler supports a shared libgcc library, you should certainly leave
  40. this option disabled. Regardless, the safest answer is N.

  45. help
  46. uClibc has a native shared library loader for some architectures.
  47. If you answer Y here, the uClibc native shared library loader will
  48. be built for your target architecture. If this option is available,
  49. to you, then you almost certainly want to answer Y.

  53. default n
  54. help
  55. If you answer Y here, the uClibc native shared library loader will
  56. only load shared libraries, which do not need to modify any non-writable
  57. segments. These libraries haven't set the DT_TEXTREL tag in the dynamic
  58. section (==> objdump). So all your libraries must be compiled with
  59. -fPIC or -fpic, and all assembler function must be written as position
  60. independent code (PIC).
  61. Enabling this option will makes uClibc's shared library loader a
  62. little bit smaller and guarantee that no memory will be wasted by badly
  63. coded shared libraries.
  64. config LDSO_LDD_SUPPORT
  65. bool "Native shared library loader 'ldd' support"

  68. help
  69. Enable this to enable all the code needed to support traditional ldd,
  70. which executes the shared library loader to resolve all dependencies
  71. and then provide a list of shared libraries that are required for an
  72. application to function. Disabling this option will makes uClibc's
  73. shared library loader a little bit smaller. Most people will answer Y.
  74. config UCLIBC_CTOR_DTOR
  75. bool "Support global constructors and destructors"
  76. default y
  77. help
  78. If you wish to build uClibc with support for global constructor
  79. (ctor) and global destructor (dtor) support, then answer Y here.
  80. When ctor/dtor support is enabled, binaries linked with uClibc must
  81. also be linked with crtbegin.o and crtend.o which are provided by gcc
  82. (the "*startfile:" and "*endfile:" settings in your gcc specs file
  83. may need to be adjusted to include these files). This support will
  84. also add a small amount of additional size to each binary compiled vs
  85. uClibc. If you will be using uClibc with C++, or if you need the gcc
  86. __attribute__((constructor)) and __attribute__((destructor)) to work,
  87. then you definitely want to answer Y here. If you don't need ctors
  88. or dtors and want your binaries to be as small as possible, then
  89. answer N.
  90. config UCLIBC_PROFILING
  91. bool "Support gprof profiling"
  92. default y
  93. help
  94. If you wish to build uClibc with support for application profiling
  95. using the gprof tool, then you should enable this feature. Then in
  96. addition to building uClibc with profiling support, you will also
  97. need to recompile all your shared libraries with the profiling
  98. enabled version of uClibc. To add profiling support to your
  99. applications, you must compile things using the gcc options
  100. "-fprofile-arcs -pg". Then when you run your applications, a
  101. gmon.out file will be generated which can then be analyzed by
  102. 'gprof'.
  103. These exist a number of less invasive alternatives that do not
  104. require your to specially instrument your application, and recompile
  105. and relink everything.
  106. Many people have had good results using the combination of Valgrind
  107. to generate profiling information and KCachegrind for analysis:
  108. http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/
  109. http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/
  110. The OProfile system-wide profiler is another alternative:
  111. http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/
  112. Prospect is another alternative based on OProfile:
  113. http://prospect.sourceforge.net/
  114. And the Linux Trace Toolkit (LTT) is also a fine tool:
  115. http://www.opersys.com/LTT/
  116. If none of these tools do what you need, you can of course enable
  117. this option, rebuild everything, and use 'gprof'. There is both a
  118. size and performance penelty to profiling your applications this way,
  119. so most people should answer N.
  120. config UCLIBC_HAS_THREADS
  121. bool "POSIX Threading Support"
  122. default y
  123. help
  124. If you want to compile uClibc with pthread support, then answer Y.
  125. This will increase the size of uClibc by adding a bunch of locking
  126. to critical data structures, and adding extra code to ensure that
  127. functions are properly reentrant.
  128. If your applications require pthreads, answer Y.
  129. config PTHREADS_DEBUG_SUPPORT
  130. bool "Build pthreads debugging support"

  132. depends on UCLIBC_HAS_THREADS
  133. help
  134. Say Y here if you wish to be able to debug applications that use
  135. uClibc's pthreads library. By enabling this option, a library
  136. named libthread_db will be built. This library will be dlopen()'d
  137. by gdb and will allow gdb to debug the threads in your application.
  138. IMPORTANT NOTE! Because gdb must dlopen() the libthread_db library,
  139. you must compile gdb with uClibc in order for pthread debugging to
  140. work properly.
  141. If you are doing development and want to debug applications using
  142. uClibc's pthread library, answer Y. Otherwise, answer N.
  143. config UCLIBC_HAS_LFS
  144. bool "Large File Support"
  145. default y
  146. help
  147. If you wish to build uClibc with support for accessing large files
  148. (i.e. files greater then 2 GiB) then answer Y. Do not enable this
  149. if you are using an older Linux kernel (2.0.x) that lacks large file
  150. support. Enabling this option will increase the size of uClibc.

  154. help
  155. "malloc" use mmap for all allocations and so works very well on MMU-less
  156. systems that do not support the brk() system call. It is pretty smart
  157. about reusing already allocated memory, and minimizing memory wastage.
  158. "malloc-930716" is derived from libc-5.3.12 and uses the brk() system call
  159. for all memory allocations. This makes it very fast. It is also pretty
  160. smart about reusing already allocated memory, and minimizing memory wastage.
  161. Because this uses brk() it will not work on uClinux MMU-less systems.

  171. default n
  172. help
  173. The behavior of malloc(0) is listed as implementation-defined by
  174. SuSv3. Glibc returns a valid pointer to something, while uClibc
  175. normally return a NULL. I personally feel glibc's behavior is
  176. not particularly safe, and allows buggy applications to hide very
  177. serious problems.
  178. When this option is enabled, uClibc will act just like glibc, and
  179. return a live pointer when someone calls malloc(0). This pointer
  180. provides a malloc'ed area with a size of 1 byte. This feature is
  181. mostly useful when dealing with applications using autoconf's broken
  182. AC_FUNC_MALLOC macro (which redefines malloc as rpl_malloc if it
  183. does not detect glibc style returning-a-valid-pointer-for-malloc(0)
  184. behavior). Most people can safely answer N.
  185. config UCLIBC_DYNAMIC_ATEXIT
  186. bool "Dynamic atexit() Support"
  187. default y
  188. help
  189. When this option is enabled, uClibc will support an infinite number,
  190. of atexit() and on_exit() functions, limited only by your available
  191. memory. This can be important when uClibc is used with C++, since
  192. global destructors are implemented via atexit(), and it is quite
  193. possible to exceed the default number when this option is disabled.
  194. Enabling this option adds a few bytes, and more significantly makes
  195. atexit and on_exit depend on malloc, which can be bad when compiling
  196. static executables.
  197. Unless you use uClibc with C++, you should probably answer N.
  198. config HAS_SHADOW

  208. POSIX regular expression code is really big -- 27k all by itself.
  209. If you don't use regular expressions, turn this off and save space.
  210. Of course, if you only staticly link, leave this on, since it will
  211. only be included in your apps if you use regular expressions.

  216. The SuSv3 wordexp() interface performs word expansions per the Shell
  217. and Utilities volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 2.6. It is
  218. intended for use by applications that want to implement all of the
  219. standard Bourne shell expansions on input data.
  220. This interface is rarely used, and very large. Unless you have a
  221. pressing need for wordexp(), you should probably answer N.
  222. config UNIX98PTY_ONLY

  225. help
  226. If you want to support only Unix 98 PTYs enable this. Some older

  233. Enable this if /dev/pts is on a devpts or devfs filesystem. Both
  234. these filesystems automatically manage permissions on the /dev/pts
  235. devices. You may need to mount your devpts or devfs filesystem on
  236. /dev/pts for this to work.

  241. help
  242. Enabling this option adds fields to 'struct tm' in time.h for
  243. tracking the number of seconds east of UTC, and an abbreviation for
  244. the current timezone. These fields are not specified by the SuSv3
  245. standard, but they are commonly used in both GNU and BSD application
  246. code.
  247. To strictly follow the SuSv3 standard, leave this disabled.

  253. Answer Y to enable caching of the last valid 'TZ' string describing
  254. the timezone setting. This allows a quick string compare to avoid
  255. repeated parsing of unchanged 'TZ' strings when tzset() is called.

  257. config UCLIBC_HAS_TZ_FILE

  259. default y
  260. help
  261. Answer Y to enable the setting of a default timezone for uClibc.
  262. Ordinarily, uClibc gets the timezone information exclusively from the
  263. 'TZ' environment variable. In particular, there is no support for
  264. the zoneinfo directory tree or the /etc/timezone file used by glibc.
  265. With this option enabled, uClibc will use the value stored in the
  266. file '/etc/TZ' (default path) to obtain timezone information if the
  267. 'TZ' environment variable is missing or has an invalid value. The
  268. file consists of a single line (newline required) of text describing
  269. the timezone in the format specified for the TZ environment variable.
  270. Simply doing 'echo CST6CDT > /etc/TZ' is enough to create a valid file.
  271. See
