# It is likely it will fail on __ctype_touplow_t*, this is quite easy to fix.

Unfortunately this will use libc dynamic linker, which is incorrect. So at the moment, use the following line to compile your executables.

# gcc -Wl,--dynamic-linker,/lib/ld-uClibc.so.0 -o hello hello.c

I will attempt to find out how to make it use the correct dynamic linker by default.

Thanks to emveepee we now know to do this:

1. To get around the need to specify the dynamic-linker I found you could be able to modify the default 
dynamic-linker in gcc4.0.4/gcc/config/mips/linux.

I just modified line 118 to the proper setting rather than applying the patch discussed in the following
url and the problem goes away.

http://www.busybox.net/lists/uclibc/2004-January/007943.html

2. The soft floating-point functions will not be linked in by default without a patch
http://bugs.busybox.net/view.php?id=1069 which I haven't tried yet but linking in -lgcc_s also
solves the problem.
