\item eglibc's goals include reduced footprint, configurable
components, better support for cross-compilation and
cross-testing.
\item Can be built without support for NIS, locales, IPv6, and many
other features.
- \item Supported by a consortium, with Freescale, MIPS, MontaVista
- and Wind River as members.

+ \item eglibc changes are progressively being merged back to glibc

\item The Debian distribution has switched to eglibc too,
