introduce a USE_EXTERNAL_LIBC symbol which gets selected by EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN || NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN Currently we always assume uClibc if an external toolchain is used, this breaks for non-uClibc toolchains or even vanilla uClibc ones since they do not share the external librpc semantics as OpenWrt. Solve the problem by defining an abstract "EXTERNAL_LIBC" which packages might or might not depend on.

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution

Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated
configuration for the toolchain and firmware.

You need to have installed gcc, binutils, patch, bzip2, flex,
make, gettext, pkg-config, unzip, libz-dev and libc headers.

Simply running 'make' will build your firmware.
It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, 
the kernel and all choosen applications.

You can use scripts/flashing/flash.sh for remotely updating your embedded
system via tftp.

The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution
and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type make -C docs/ to build it.

Building your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system.
Cygwin will not be supported because of the lack of case sensitiveness.

Sunshine!
