I'd like 1.5.24 to be released soon, and the backport of the
*-linux-uclibc* part of your patch against HEAD is trivial.  I can
also write the ChangeLog entry and all.  But I do want an assessment
of how complete the port is, to write a NEWS entry and not raise
false expectations.

If there is a Debian package of a cross toolchain or similar
downloadable stuff I can use to run the tests, I could even do that
myself.

Thanks,
Ralf
