Well, yeah. ;)

But.. on another note, I just had what could amount to a brain-fart, or a 
good idea depending on how you look at it. There are some big issues with 
getting Asterisk to compile using uClibc rather than Libc, but if we could 
take the initial step of actually getting CVS Head to build cleanly 
against uClibc, these patches could be integrated back into the source 
tree making Asterisk more portable to embedded platforms. Sure, running 
uClibc on a Soekris or Via which have MMU's is not the same as a MIPS 
w/out an MMU, but it would be an important first step.
