[Avila] Snapgear arm linux toolchain with shared library support

[Chris Lang]

I do know that it "might" be possible to build uclibc via the snapgear build
tree that is available on the 0.6 BSP release. It has never been encouraged
to use uClibc on the Avila. 

	Besides all of that, it "may" be possible to build a full uClibc FS
via the snapgear build system included on 0.6 BSP.

Chris,

Thanks for clarifying. 'ldd' confirms what you are saying. 
Are you aware of a toolchain that was build against uClibc and/or uClibc++?
