Because uClibc is dead.

As the guy who staged the coup to appoint the current maintainer a decade ago and then watched him _not_ get the NPTL mess sorted or the project back on a regular release schedule, I agree: uClibc is dead. Has been for a while, replaced by musl-libc (chromeos) and bionic (android).

I wrote a long eulogy for the project last year on the buildroot list explaining how it died and why I consider the uClibc-ng project to be beating a dead horse:

Yeah, but your opinion is just _one_ opinion. Keeping a working code base up and running for a lot of architectures not supported by musl isn't about beating a dead horse.(ARC, Xtensa, NDS32, Sparc, Blackfin, C6X, H8/300, ..) uClibc-ng is alive and kicking. So stop telling people bullshit.

Of course that particular exercise in necromancy is no sillier than a half-dozen other such projects I could name.

Surely reimplementing a well known project like busybox just because to use another open source license is something totally useful and genius stuff.

I added aarchh64 support recently to uClibc-ng, so you might give it a try and make your own opinion.
