Can you elaborate on what issues you have with ELDK/LTIB, is it just  
package support?  If so it might be useful for the developers to know  
what packages you're interested in.  Or if there are other issues  
with them.

LTIB uses busybox and in general seems very limited in its support
(as well as currently backdated in terms of kernel support). 
ELDK has an incredible set of packages that it supports, but 
things like many of the scripting languages support (e.g.: PERL),
additional security libraries(e.g.: ipsec), general network 
libraries (e.g.: libpcap), and some network utilities (e.g.: wget).

Individually, none of these are serious, but altogether it's a lot
to manage - if I had 1 stop shopping, I might go there instead of 
with the ever incredible ELDK!
