Just a quick note about embedded platforms and FreeSWITCH,  git head
compiles with uClibc as the libc just fine. There were a few changes
that broke successful compilation of FreeSWITCH, but they have since
been fixed. This statement is only applicable given if the all
available options of uClibc is present/enabled.

This means IPv6 support, RPC support and a few other obsolete BSD,
SuSv3. SuSv4 legacy functions was enabled in my uClibc build when I
performed the testing.
