EmbToolkit

I'm pleased to announce EmbToolkit v1.4.0 release.

This new version brings performance improvements in the build system which highly reduce
time needed to generate a toolchain and a root filesystem.
Beside eglibc and uClibc it is now possible to use glibc as C library.
musl C library is also planned for the next release.
The root filesystem generated now uses OpenRC for init scripts and services start/stop handling.

Please see below other changes made since the previous release.

  • Linux headers: updated to latest versions availabl.
  • eglibc: update to latest versions available.
